1963 German gold medals for Kennedy-Adenauer meeting and for Kennedy assassination

gscoins

I have been asked by friends to evaluate, and make recommendations for disposal of, a small coin collection that includes some German gold medals. One medal commemorates the meeting of President Kennedy and Chancellor Adenauer in 1963, three commemorate Kennedy's assassination. Two of the assassination medals are 20 mm in diameter, as is the Kennedy-Adenauer medal, while the third assassination medal is 26 mm in diameter. I do not have a scale, so cannot give weights. They are marked "900," which suggests 90% gold. I have been able to find them on the internet, but cannot tell if they have value beyond their gold content. Here are photos:

Does anyone have any further knowledge of these medals? Do they have anything more than just gold value? Does anyone know their weights?

Thanks for any help you all can offer!
