"I sume they are very expensive" About $3200 for this set.

These were privately minted for submission into design competition for new coins to be minted at the Munich mint He additionally submitted another similar 50 Pf design for 1919 (I also have this piece). Karl Goetz competed many times in competitions but his designs were never chosen...I think due to political pressures. He could not mint coins in precious metals except for submission and the number of silver sets is probably limited to 2-3. He did, however, mint these same coins in iron which are about $75 a pop if you can find them...again, not many iron ones were made either.
