Germany Empire Luther Reformation Museler-49.2/33a SP 62 PCGS silver medal 1917

This remarkable 1917 German Empire silver medal commemorates the 400th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, honoring Martin Luther and his decisive role in reshaping European religious history. Issued during World War I, the piece reflects both spiritual heritage and national identity, making it a meaningful collectible linked to religion, reform, and historical transformation.

The obverse features a finely sculpted right-facing portrait of Martin Luther, depicted wearing a traditional cap and robe. His facial features are rendered with strong realism, emphasizing determination and intellect. The surrounding legend frames the portrait, while subtle engraving details add depth to the surface.

The book is detailed with clasps, spine texture, and binding elements, conveying weight and permanence. Encircling the scene is a commemorative inscription, with decorative separators and dates marking the 400-year milestone.

Struck in silver and graded PCGS SP62, this medal displays a refined matte surface with sharp relief and attractive toning. A historically rich and visually compelling piece, ideal for collectors of religious medals, Reformation history, and German numismatics.
