IMPORTANT NOTE - The Buyer's Premium is now $20 per lot or 20% of the hammer price, whichever amount is greater. However, we have also reduced opening bids on lower value items to adjust for the new Buyer's Premium structure, so all-in costs are still very close to what they were in the past. This change in fee structure will allow us to continue to offer coins valued at less than $100 in addition to our higher value offerings. Contact us with any questions.
GERMANY: Weimar Republic, AE medal (45.95g), Kienast-262, 52mm bronze medal for the Watch on the Rhine by Karl Goetz, bust of helmeted colonial soldier right with "DIE WACHT AM RHEIN !!" around with "1920" in left field and LIBERTÉ / ÉGALI - TÉ / FRATERNI / TÉ at lower left // nude German woman tied to large helmeted phallus with broken lyre at left, all-seeing eye in upper left field, and DIE SCHWARZE - SCHANDE (The Black Shame) around, later casting, plain edge, AU. Certainly one of Goetz' most controversial and graphic designs, it was produced to protest the sending of French colonial troops from Africa to guard the Rhine Territory. "The Black Shame" was a term used by the right-wing German Nationalist press as propaganda following allegations of widespread crimes (especially sexual crimes) against troops from Senegal, Indochina, and Madagascar. Hitler later blamed Jews for bringing Senegalese into the Rhineland.
