British Lusitania Medallion

The German second issue 'Lusitania Medallion'
(Goetz's corrected version)

It would appear that once the damaging date error had been realised Goetz quickly rectified his mistake and issued a second version. This second issue may be identified by:

• The altered date on the obverse exergue which now reads '7 MAI 1915'
• The dimension of the flan which, Kienast states, tends to be thinner than that of the original.

It is not known how many second issue pieces were produced.
