Original chocolate-brown patina throughout; a couple of minor dark spots and a few small contact mark on the the rim are noted for accuracy – see photos.

Not cleaned; these are the actual photos.

Karl Goetz was born in Augsburg, Germany and studied in Leipzig, Berlin, Dusseldorf, Utrecht, Le Locle (Switzerland), and in Paris. With the start of WW-I Karl Goetz became an artist known around the world for his 1914-1923 satirical medals. Overall, Goetz created about 180 satirical medals and close to 800 medals overall; all are very collectible and highly prized today. I have a few Karl Goetz medals available in my eB tore - please take a  look.
