Not much, the coin you're describing is a 2 Mark coin, of which millions were in circulation. Unless it is in "mint uncirculated" condition, its value is purely as a curiosity, since the Deutsche Mark was replaced by the Euro.
There was the "Norddeutsche Bund" (North German Condederation) from 1867-1871 which was like a military alliance Then there was the "Deutsche Kaiserreich" (German Empire) from 1971-1918, after that the "Waimarer Republik" (Waimar Republic) from 1919-1933, the "Dritte Reich" or "Großdeutsche Reich" (Third Reich or Greater German Reich) from 1933-1945. From 1871-1945 the offical name has been "Deutsches Reich" (German Reich). In the time of occupation in Germany the "Bundesrepublik Deutschland" has been found in the areas occupied by Great Britain, France and the USA. Eastern Germany was under Soviet occupation and they chose to found their own state called "Deutsche Demokratische Republik" (German Democratic Republic). Nowadays as a united Germany we are still the "Bundesrepublik Deutschland" or simply "Deutschland".
This is an ordinary circulation coin that was used up till the introduction of the euro in 2002. At that time a mark was worth about 50¢ U.S. and there were 100 pfennigs in a mark, so the lowly little 1-pf coin was worth all of a half a cent.

You are asking about a 2 Deutsche Mark coin (KM#124) from the Federal Republic of Germany (abbreviated as "FRG" and then often referred to as "West Germany"). The coin is 26.75mm in diameter, weighs 7 grams, and is composed of a copper-nickel cladding over a nickel core. The coin commemorates the 20th anniversary of the FRG (although it was produced annually between 1969 and 1987). The obverse (front of the coin) bears a portrait of Konrad Adenauer, the first Chancellor of the post-WW2 Federal Republic of Germany (he held the post from 1949 through 1963), with the words "BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND" (German for "Federal Republic of Germany") above and the dates "1949" and "1969" below. Note that the "1969" appears directly below tha portrait, while "1949" appears a bit to the left of it (and is thus somewhat less obvious). The reverse (back of the coin) has a stylized image of an eagle with the coin's date, "1971" above the head and the mintmark ("D", "F", "G" or "J") below the eagle's left claw. Below the eagle's tail and continuing to the right is the denomination "2 DEUTSCHE MARK" (the numeral is much larger than the lettering. Immediately to the left of the denomination, and continuing up to the top of the coin, are the words "BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND". There were an aggregate of about 28 million such coins produced in 1971. According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, there is no difference in value between the coins produced at the various mints - each is valued at about US$1.50 in Extremely Fine condition and US$3.00 in Uncirculated condition.
