DESCRIPTION

 

K-263 

1920, Cast Bronze, Satirical medal, 59.2mm, 61.3g.

THE BLACK SHAME
(Die Schwarze Schmach)

Obverse:  The same as K-262

Reverse:  The Lorelei sits naked, tied to a large post topped with a French military helmet. Inscription on post, "Zum Hohn der deutschen Frau" (To the scorn of the German woman). A newborn "Rhineland bastard" (Berlin propaganda name) lies at the base of the post. Rim inscription, "Die Schwarze Schmach" (The black disgrace).

This issue is one step more difficult to obtain over the K-262 as the vitriol gains in momentum toward the K-264.

Grade: Gussfrisch, As Cast.  As per Goetz' best work the piece exhibits a milk chocolate patina with caramel highlights.
