I do not have photos, but I saw a silver 4 Mark coin in a silver thing. I cant describe it, but the whole thing including the thing around the coin is about 50mm in diameter. The coin is https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces59654.html

Details can be seen, and the seller is trustable. But is this thing worth 50€?

What do you mean "a silver thing"?

Do you mean it's mounted on a brooch or jewellery or something?
The date and condition would be helpful. Also sometimes when coins are mounted in a piece of art, they can be damaged. Solder and eyelets are common, sometimes the rims may be removed to allow the coin to fit. Without several pictures, it would be impossible to say.

​Its actually quite nice. Used in circulation, about all details can be seen, and the thing that its mounted on is a large ring-like thing, most likely from the times the coin was made.
It is simple; if you like it, buy it. If you can afford...
...you can run,  but you can't hide...

​ I could buy it. 50€ isn't so much for he large 17th century silver coin from Sweden with NRI 95 and a nice piece of history and jewelry. I will buy it if it doesn't have missing pieces such as the rim
But it is in better condition than the coin on the numista page

​Well, it's your money, your decision.

Personally I don't buy coins that have been mounted or are still mounted, unless they're otherwise very expensive/scarce.

Can you find that coin, unmounted, in similar condition for a similar price? If yes, then don't buy it.

​The cheapest 4 mark on ebay is almost 700€. According to ngccoin, VG8=45€.
I could not find any auction where it has gone for under 130€. I think I will buy it.

The closest picture of a item that looks like that coin is this:

It looks pretty much like that but the "outside part" of the item is larger.
