Antique World War I "medal" British propaganda copy of Karl Goetz' "Sinking of top the Lusitania" circa 1916, cast iron

This was a copy of a commemorative medal made by Great Britain to show the brutality of the German war machine.Shortly after the event a commemorative medal was struck by the Germans believed to have originated in Munich the metal was cast from iron and was 2.25 inch in diameter and weighed 1.5 Oz the designer was Karl Goetz creator of many medallions and initials K.G.are clearly visible on the obverse, on the obverse under the inscription "No Contraband" (Keine Bannware) there is a representation of the Lusitania sinking the outline of the liner has been altered to resemble a warship the designer has also put aeroplanes which it was certified by the United States government officials after inspection the Lusitania did not carry but has conveniently omitted to put in the women and children who were on board. On the reverse under the inscription "Business Above All (Geschaft uber alles)a smiling skeleton at the New York booking office of the Cunard line is depicted, a line of waiting potential passengers and victims refused to attend to the warning top against submarines given by the German figure in the background the figure presumably the German ambassador gazes reprovingly on the whole proceedings.
This copy is cast in iron and has some surface rust that I left to be cleaned by the new owner. It's a great piece of wartime propaganda memorabilia. Although the British copied the original they didn't get it perfect and this one is actually 2.18" in diameter. Nice collectible W3
