K-171 GENERAL CADORNA (Sisyphos am Isonzo), 1916, Cast AE, 57.9mm, Wt. 64.10g.
Goetz is lampooning the alleged statement of Cardona, Italian Chief of the General Staff, that the battle losses at the Isonzo River were caused by bad weather.
Obverse: Inscription, ‘Cadorna, Italian Chief of Staff.’ Bust right, in uniform and under umbrella.
Reverse: Inscription, ‘Sisyphos at the Isonzo.’ Dated 1915-16
