| Reverse description | A muscular nude male figure, identified as Hercules or a heroic allegorical figure, stands striding forward in dynamic contrapposto, raising aloft the Imperial German crown with both hands. Beneath his feet writhes a winged griffin or eagle-like creature, symbolizing conquest over adversarial forces. The denomination 20 MARK appears to the right in the field, with the date 1913 integrated into the legend. The legend DEUTSCHES REICH arcs across the upper field, and the mint mark G appears in the exergue below the ground line. The composition is vigorous and classical, reflecting Goetz's Jugendstil-influenced medallic artistry. |
