Germany Third Reich Prien Scapa Flow Kienast-564 SP 62 PCGS silver medal 1939

Germany 1939 “Prien – Scapa Flow” silver medal graded SP62 by PCGS is a historical commemorative piece dedicated to the naval operation associated with Günther Prien and the events at Scapa Flow during the early period of World War II. The obverse presents a sharply detailed portrait of the naval officer wearing a military cap and heavy naval coat. The sculpted facial features, focused gaze, and realistic uniform details give the medal a strong period appearance. Soft silver toning and darkened highlights emphasize the depth of the relief and the carefully modeled portrait.

The reverse depicts a dramatic maritime battle scene with warships moving across rough waves, smoke clouds rising around the vessels, naval guns, flags, and an exploding ship in the distance. The composition conveys movement and tension through rolling water, angled ships, and dynamic smoke effects. Fine engraving details appear throughout the sea surface, ship structures, and military equipment, while the inscription referencing Scapa Flow connects the medal directly to one of the most widely discussed naval operations of 1939.

Struck in silver and certified SP62 by PCGS, this medal combines military history, maritime themes, and impressive medallic artistry. It remains an important collectible for enthusiasts of naval history, historical medals, and 20th-century European exonumia.
