A fine example of a British made magnetic 5 MAI 1915 example. Un-boxed.
VF $125
An extremely rare cast iron example of the rare type 2 Karl Goetz medal for 7 MAI 1915. On discovering his initial mistake of using the date of the 5 MAI 1915 he hurriedly produced this example to counter the criticism. But it was too late as the Germans stopped production and confiscated his remaining stock. It is believed that only 41 or 45 examples of this medal were made. It must be remembered that Goetz was a “backyard” operator, Melting unsold medals and casting in both iron & bronze examples in his own home. Note the UMLAUTS above the title on the reverse striking which is always missing on the copies.
VF $850
The British having obtained an example of his first striking and knowing that the 5 MAI 1915 was two days prior to the actual sinking were quick to capitalize on this mistake by implying that the dreadful Germans had pre-empted the strike. For propaganda purposes and a way to raise funds for St. Dunstans Blinded Soldiers and the Red Cross, they proceeded to copy the medals for sale in an attractive box with an explanation leaflet. This outfit is complete.
