K 14, Four Generations of the Wittelsbach House, uniface plaque, 1911, silvered-nickel, 158mm X 228mm Choice AU.
This is a uniface, incuse-reverse cast plaque that had not been trimmed by Goetz for sale but may have been an artist proof. The only untrimmed one I have seen.
Four busts, right, in court costume; 90 year-old Prince Regent Luitpold, Prince Ludwig, 60, Prince Ruprecht, 42, and 10 year old Prince Luitpold. 1911 in Roman numerals bottom left and Royal Arms in roses at right.

Perhaps, as Goetz would have never sold it this way. Or a model? He could have easily made his negative sand molds with this piece. There is a known trimmed bronze piece in this size and all the other varieites (silver, bronze, lead) are in the reduced 76mm X 50mm size.
Notice the beginning of a cut at the top left corner? Don't know if this was done by Goetz and not carried out, or if it was done later to ascertain the metal composition of the piece. I really need to do a specific gravity measurement on this to make sure it's not pure silver.
