LUITPOLD, PRINCE REGENT OF BAVARIA, On his Death

1912, Cast Silver, 27mm X 45mm, RRR, UNC/Gussfrisch

Obverse: Luitpold in court finery, left. Medal topped with Kings crown and ribbon.

Reverse: Legend: LVITPOLDVS / PRINCEPS REG / REGNI BAV./ VICARIVS NAT. / XII.III.MDCCCXXI / DENAT. / XII.XII.MCMXII (Luitpold, prince regent, kingdom of Bavaria, substitute, born 12 March 1821, died 12 December 1912).

The obverse of this piece was designed by Heinrich Wadere but executed and created by Goetz.

I was very fortunate to find this piece which apparently came from a very old German collection as the lot contained an old handwritten note in German and dated from 1913.

cacheman, are you aware of the Harald Moller Auction 41 coming up May 15/16 in Germany? 1700 lots of Goetz medals.

I haven't received the catalog as yet but should, I think.

I hope this large sale doesn't mean that the old man Goetz collector from Hamburg died...I'll have to check. I know he had about this size of a collection and I was going to catalog pattern varieties for him and Moeller.
