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.
