Karl Goetz Medal – Kienast 152: “Married In War ” (1920) Satirical Medal

K Kienast 152 - "Married in War" Commemorative Medal (1914)

A poignant wartime marriage medal cast in 58 mm, Kienast 152—MARRIED IN WAR (Kriegsgetraut)—was produced as a stock piece for couples wed during the upheaval of 1914. The obverse includes a shield intentionally left blank for engraving the names of the bride and groom, making each piece uniquely personal.

The reverse carries the inscription: "With God for Emperor and country 1914." A striking artifact capturing both devotion and duty at the dawn of the First World War.
