- KARL GOETZ MEDALS. France - Germany. Occupation of the Main Province Silver Medal, 1920. Munich Mint. PCGS MATTE SPECIMEN-63 Gold Shield. Kienast-261. 36mm. By Karl Goetz. Obverse: Marshal Foch seated facing, head lowered slightly right, upon Frankfurt town hall; Reverse: French soldier advancing left, holding money bag indicating 1 million Marks and cat o' nine tails-style whip with ends terminating in the heads of the citizens of Frankfurt. Pleasing gray surfaces with some delightful hints of russet accentuating the devices. In order to quell a communist uprising, the Germans asked permission to use their own soldiers (this ability having been banned as part of the Treaty of Versailles). When permission was not granted, the Germans took matters into their own hands. As punishment, however, the French retaliated immediately, occupying Frankfurt and Darmstadt, further subjugating the defeated Germans. Estimate: $200 - $300. Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
