Prussian (German) 5 marks, 90% silver. The inscription translates as, "William, Emperor of Germany [and] King of Prussia." The "B" mintmark is for either Bayreuth or Breslau. I believe this coin is worth about $50 in Very Fine condition. Here's a similar one, but with an "A" (Berlin) mintmark.

"Gott Mit Uns" is (roughly) God with us. Wilhelm I was King of Prussia 1861-1888 and emperor of Germany 1871 - 1888.
