In 1925 Goetz made patterns for Opus 352 which he called “Reichsmünzproben Germania” (Federal mint patterns “Germania”). These patterns came in values of 2,3, and 5 Marks and were manufactured in both thin and thick planchets. The designs were never adopted for coins.

Man, I wish they made them!

Pretty, they haven't had a lot of woman on German coins have they?

Madonna and Child were common on Bavarian coins back in the 19th century.

Very nice pattern, thanks for sharing.

Very nice.

Beautiful pattern. Obverse image reminds me of Durer's paintings.

I could note that I would expect nothing less than beauty from Goetz's work. Thank you for sharing these great pieces.Goetz is among my favorites, if not the favorite among medallic artists.
