Daniel Friedrich Loos (1735-1819) was born in Altenburg, spent time in Prussia, and was appointed chief engraver and Medallist to the Court at Berlin in 1768. Forrer, quoting Bolzenthal, states that Loos was a diligent artist who, in a time of bad taste, applied himself to the study of portraiture and ancient types. Loos also made various discoveries in the art and technique of striking coins. He had two sons, Friedrich Wilhelm and Gottfried Bernhard, who became medallists in their own right.
