Germany Third Reich Bruckner Composer Kienast-495 SP 63 PCGS silver medal 1934

The 1934 Germany Third Reich Anton Bruckner silver medal, cataloged as Kienast-495 and certified PCGS SP63, is an impressive commemorative issue honoring the renowned Austrian composer and organist Anton Bruckner. Struck during the cultural programs of 1930s Germany, this medal celebrates one of the most influential figures of late Romantic classical music and combines artistic engraving with strong historical significance. The obverse features a bold left-facing portrait of Bruckner with sharply sculpted facial details, deep-set eye, pronounced nose, and smooth bald head. Laurel branches flank the portrait, while the inscription “ANTON BRUCKNER” arches around the upper rim. Below the bust appear the dates “1824” and “1896,” marking the composer’s birth and death years, separated by an ornamental symbol. The engraver’s signature is visible beside the neck truncation, adding further artistic authenticity.

The reverse presents a monumental architectural composition inspired by the Walhalla memorial hall, with broad staircases, classical columns, pediments, and decorative structural details arranged in symmetrical form. Surrounding inscriptions read “DER MUSIKANT GOTTES IN DER WALHALLA,” while the date “1934” appears at the bottom. Fine relief engraving highlights the pillars, arches, steps, and ornamental base decorations, giving the medal strong visual depth and architectural elegance. The silver surfaces display attractive toning and specimen-quality detail that enhance the overall eye appeal.

Certified by PCGS as SP63, this silver medal is a desirable collectible for enthusiasts of music history, German medals, Austrian composers, and historical European numismatics. Its combination of cultural significance, artistic design, and certified preservation makes it an outstanding addition to advanced collections.
