New pickup. 1919, Cast bronze. 88.0mm, 173.0g. "TO COMMEMORATE THE 9TH OF NOVEMBER 1918"
From www.karlgoetz.com website
Obverse: A young female, representing the new Republic, with a wreath of immortality in her left hand tries to extinguish the flames on the eagles head with a snuffer she holds in her right hand. The eagle, representing the House of Hohenzollern, has the head of Kaiser Wilhelm. It also has a broken wing which attempts to hold onto a broken sceptre. Inscription, In exergue with electrical bolts, "Freiheit - Gleicheit - Bruderlichkeit" (Freedom - Equality - Fraternity).
Reverse: At the top, Weimar's City Theatre, the seat of the German National Assembly. Below, two washerwomen are laboring over a tub of laundry. Inscription, "Wir Weimarer Waschweiber waschen wochenlang wahnbetört wüster Widersacher widerliche Wäsche, wohlgemut weiter wurstelnd, wie wenn Weltkriegs wildes Wüten wenig wichtig ware." (We washer-women of Weimar, besotted with folly, are washing week-in and week-out the revolting dirty laundry of vile adversaries, as if the savage raging of the World War were of little importance).
This date marks the abdication of the Kaiser and the renunciation of the throne by the Crown Prince, it also means the birth of the "Weimar Republic."

<< <i>Love these medals but know little about them. Are they cataloged some place? What kind of mintages were there for them and what kind of prices would one expect to pay for say a common piece? I never see them for sale. Where do you buy them? Thanks for any info.

WWW- started a page which will house the collection. I dont like the medals getting in the way of Talers yet I guess that wrapping these under historical medals it will not be a separate category. Will try and update a few a day. It will provide for a good collection management tool for me - Collection Link
