Germany Federal Bavaria Madonna 1868 w/ Baby Jesus SP 66 PCGS silver medal 1968

This Federal Republic of Germany silver medal from Bavaria, dated 1968 and graded PCGS SP66, is a beautifully executed piece inspired by a historic 1868 design. It reflects deep religious symbolism and regional identity, combining devotional art with heraldic tradition.

The obverse features a serene depiction of the Madonna seated on soft clouds, crowned and holding a scepter. She gently supports the Christ Child, who raises one hand in blessing while holding a small orb topped with a cross in the other. Both figures are surrounded by delicate halos, and the flowing drapery of the garments is rendered with remarkable precision. The composition conveys calmness and spiritual authority, enhanced by the fine detail and smooth surfaces of the strike.

The reverse presents the Bavarian coat of arms in full splendor: a crowned shield divided into multiple heraldic sections, supported by two upright lions with muscular bodies and stylized manes. Beneath the shield appears a ribbon with the regional name, while the entire design is framed by a beaded border. The reflective fields contrast beautifully with the frosted relief, highlighting every intricate element.

Struck in high-quality silver with a prooflike finish, this medal is an elegant tribute to Bavarian heritage and Christian iconography. A superb collectible for lovers of religious art and German numismatics.
