cacheman

K-353(b) 50 Pfennig Pattern, 1925, D (Munich), Struck Silver, 23.7mm, 2.3g, Schaaf 324G4, RRR, UNC.

Obverse: Deutsches Reich, below two bound sheaves of wheat encircled by sickle. Date bisected by wheat stalks over ribbon.

Reverse: Standing Germania ¾ left clothed in sheer garment. She holds a spade in her right hand and cradles a cornucopia in her left arm. “D”mintmark in left field at 9:00 and the denomination “50 PF” in the right field. Incised “KGoeTz” under her feet.

Goetz submitted four 50 Pfennig patterns to the Bavarian mint in 1925 with hopes that the designs would be adopted for new coins. None were accepted.

Uh...no. A few light hairlines on the 10:00 reverse field, otherwise just a beautiful matte finish. This isn't a proof.
















BTW...I don't have cleaned coins in my collection
