AT THE NEGOTIATION TABLE IN SPA
(Am Verhandlungstisch in Spa)

1920, Cast bronze, Satirical medal, 60.5mm, 68.80g.

Obverse:  German Chancellor Fehrenbach stands at the negotiation table and reluctantly signs the Disarmament and Coal Reparation Document. Minister-president Millarand, on his knee, guides Fehrenbach's pen hand; Lloyd George grabs Fehrenbach by the throat and holds a knife to him.

Reverse:  An ax labeled "Entente" cuts into the stump of a German oak tree which is beginning to grow new sprouts. Overhead an approaching thunder cloud with lightening bolts and inscribed "Bolschewismus" (Bolshevism) Dated, July 5-16, 1920. K•G to right of ax handle.

A wonderful oversized example of this difficult to obtain piece.  The medal exhibits Goetz' excellent ability to create great depth of the devices on both sides.

Grade: VZ/Gussfrisch
