Germania

(1/1)

Haarmann:

Elizabeth von Esseo,  Germania, 1921, Blackened Bronze, 71.5mm, 115,7g. RRR

Obverse: Robed Germania bust, left. Rim inscription "Germania A•D•1919•1921•"

Reverse:  Naked female (Germania) crucified upon cross, bands of armed troops at both sides. Edge inscription "OPUS ESSOE"

Nosferatu:
Another example I haven't seen before.  I assume it is Germania being crucified by war?  Why is it that Germany always started the wars but then whined about the suffering?
