Goetzdude Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 K-319 FRITZ REUTER, Death Commemorative, 1924, Struck Silver, 36mm, VZ. Commemorating 50 years of his death, July 12, 1874. Obverse: Bust front (muled image from earlier K-33 medal) Reverse: Large oak tree sheltering stone sitting bench in foreground inscribed with birth and death dates. A lyre rests against the trunk of the tree. A Castle (Wartburg) sits atop hill in the background above tree. An eloquent tribute to the Nationalist Reuter. Goetz includes the 1000 year old Ivenack oak, one of a number located near Reuter’s birthplace of Stavenhagen. Wartburg castle, imaged above the oak of the reverse, is located in Eisenach, Reuter’s place of death. Also made in 80mm Cast bronze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
