Germany Third Reich Schiller Literature Kienast-500 SP 63 PCGS silver medal 1934

Germany Third Reich Friedrich Schiller silver medal dated 1934 is an impressive commemorative issue honoring one of Germany’s most influential poets, dramatists, and philosophers. Certified SP 63 by PCGS, this beautifully preserved silver medal combines refined sculptural artistry with strong literary symbolism. The medal pays tribute to Friedrich Schiller, whose works on freedom, morality, and human dignity became central to German classical literature and European intellectual history. Its elegant silver surfaces display deep gray toning with soft highlights that emphasize the remarkable depth of the relief.

The obverse presents a powerful right-facing portrait of Schiller with flowing hair, sharp facial contours, and an intense expression that captures the intellectual character of the celebrated writer. Fine engraving details are visible in the strands of hair, neck structure, cheekbones, and carefully modeled profile. The darkened fields surrounding the portrait create dramatic contrast and enhance the medal’s artistic presence.

The reverse features a highly symbolic allegorical composition. A seated nude male figure rests on a tree stump while holding a long sword pointed downward, conveying contemplation, struggle, and heroic idealism. Beside him stands a youthful nude figure with raised arms, adding a sense of drama and emotional movement. Above them appears a hanging bell with ribbon detail and oak leaves extending across the upper field, while textured ground, foliage, and natural elements complete the scene. The composition reflects themes associated with Schiller’s literary legacy, including sacrifice, freedom, morality, and German Romantic symbolism.

Struck in silver and certified SP 63 by PCGS, this medal is an outstanding collectible for enthusiasts of literary history, German medallic art, allegorical design, and certified historical silver exonumia from the 1930s.
