Goetzdude Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I just purchased these two pieces which will soon be in my Goetz collection. These are dealer images. Both have been attributed to C.Drentwett (a medallist AND company in Augsburg) although it was Goetz who made the obverses, probably by commission and with the understanding that his name would not appear on the medal. I'll do more research to find out if the reverses are his too. The Wilhelm piece, to date, hasn't been recorded and wasn't included in Kienast. I can chalk up another Goetz "find"... 1914, The Capture of Antwerp, Struck silver, 33.3mm, 14.6g, edge-stamped "990 SILBER", RRR, Zetzmann 4037, Stempleglanz Obverse: Wilhelm II and Franz Joseph I, Left, Legendless. Reverse: "Capture of Antwerp after a seige of only 12 days, October 9th, 1914" 1914, The Capture of Antwerp, Struck silver, 33.4mm, 14.7g, RR, Zetzmann 4038, PP. Obverse: Wilhelm, left, in uniform with eagle helmet, "Wilhelm II, German Kaiser". Reverse: Identical to reverse above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu62 Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 The obverse of the second medal looks like the obverse of German East Africa coinage. Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goetzdude Posted February 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 These two medals finally showed up today...the dealer pictures above don't hold a candle to these in real life. I won't get a chance to image these until this weekend though. As proofs, they're going to be tough to capture in an image.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
