Beer Hall Putsch (Hitlerputsch) medal by Karl Goetz, 1923, reverse. The medal shows on the left three diminutive nazi kids in military attire, with stahlhelms, spurred boots, a gallow, and a flag with a reversed swastika, all dancing on and over a table. To the right, behind a curtain, stands Gustav Ritter von Kahr with a revolver. Between them is a Leprechaun-like figure, depicting a communist and pointing with his fingers to Kahr and to the nazis. The inscription "MUNCHNER THEATER" refers to "ein Theater", in the German meaning of "a farce". The inscription "9.11.1923 / LETZTE / VORSTELLUNG / AUF NACH / BERLIN" means <i>Last performance on November 9th, on to Berlin</i>. Later, immediately after Hitler was named chancellor, Goetz became supportive of Hitler and the nazi ideology.
