Question for any Goetz collectors..

Does anyone know the mintages for the 1913 Goetz patterns?

I've searched but no cigar.

vieln dank!

There aren't any known numbers for anything struck other than silver and gold. Since they were coin patterns, all artists were restricted from minting in rare metals but not in bronze or copper or either of these gilt either in silver (versilbert) or gold (vergoldet). The solid silver pieces were struck in six sets each for the Bavarian and Prussian varieties. There were also only six 10 and 20 Mark gold pieces made for each set with even less, 3 or 4, gold examples made for the larger 2/3/5 Mark pieces.

The copper/bronze examples aren't common, yet they aren't unobtainable either...not unlike his other patterns.

Thank you, I thought it might be tough to know, anyway his work is so strong it has brought me over, at least in a liittle way, to the "darkside"
