 ------------


This medal illustrates a type of prophetic biblical numerology that is popular among certain sects. The book of Revelations states that the anti-Christ can be detected by the figure 666 fitting his name. Assigning the number 100 for the letter A and numbering as shown against the letters forming the name HITLER give the sum of 666. Goetz claims "another prophecy received the power of proof with these figures." 1945.
