To explain the name, these coins were issued by the German States' Bank (Bank Deutscher Länder) which was established in occupied post-WWII Germany prior to the formation of the Federal Republic in 1950. At that time the federal government took over coin production and the inscription was changed to read "Bundesrepublik Deutschland" (German Federal Republic)

A coin with the wording Bank Deutscher Lämder (Bank of the German States) wouldn't be made of gold. That inscription appeared on low-denomination German coins issued in 1948 and 1949 prior to creation of the Federal Republic of Germany.The only possible BDL coins with a gold appearance would be 5- and 10-pfennig pieces struck in brass-plated steel. According to sammler.com, a major German collectibles site, in average condition both denominations have retail values of about US$1 each. However in better condition a 5 pf coin could retail for US$17 to $25 depending on mint mark, while a 10 pf coin would retail for $20 to $28.
OTP Bank was created in 1949.
It depends on the coin's condition and mint mark. In average circulated condition, a J mark such as yours, along with D or F, would retail for about $2 U.S., while a G mint mark would retail for about $3. Those prices rise to $55 and $95 respectively, if the coin is almost uncirculated. Before West Germany was fully restored as a nation, coins were issued by a bank run by the individual states (Länder). Later Federal Republic coins were the same size and value, so it was possible to find "Länder" coins in occasional circulation up till the euro was adopted in 2002. FWIW, "Bank Deutscher Länder" ("Bank of the German States") is pronounced roughly "Bahnk DOYTsher LENder"
