Erinnerungsplakette des Freikorps W?rzburg

just saw this one go for 356,66 euro.I know they are rare but why that high price, does it have anything to do with the king whom abdicated in 1919?

Who can tell more about this one?

Nope. It has to do with THIS:

I'd guess from the horribly crude artwork, the rectangular plaque dates from around 1919 (though why they then needed the--briefly--wearable 1934 version, no clue) but no clue as to whom or when the rectangular one was presented.

interesting, so it had to do with the fact that this freikorps took back control of the city of W?rzburg when the communist had seized power in Bavaria in 1919.
