Prussia - 1801

Twisted out of love for love

Obverse:

A young woman kneels before a bush, wreath in hand.

Exergue:

Loos

Size:

36.5 mm.

Reverse:

Probably the wreath from the obverse contains a legend.

Legend:

AUS LIEBE FÜR LIEBE GEWUNDEN
(Twisted out of love for love)

Vern's Comments:

A delightful piece but not dedicated to any event.
The date is definitely a guess as is which Loos is the engraver. The style remnds me of Daniel Loos, the father and if so could date as late as 1819.
