Germany Third Reich Saar Referendum Museler-15.3/49 MS 63 PCGS bronze medal 1935

This historic 1935 bronze medal commemorates the Saar Referendum (Volksabstimmung im Saargebiet), one of the most significant political events in interwar Europe. Certified MS63 by PCGS, the medal marks the January 13, 1935 plebiscite in which the Saar Territory voted on its political future after years of administration under the League of Nations following World War I.

The obverse depicts a standing male miner, symbolizing the coal-mining heritage that defined the Saar region. The figure is shown in work clothes, holding a mining lamp at his side, with strong industrial imagery emphasizing the area's economic identity. Surrounding inscriptions reference the Saar region and referendum. The reverse features a stylized map of the Saar Territory with the word “SAAR” prominently placed at the center. The design includes boundary outlines, geographic markers, commemorative dates, and inscriptions celebrating the referendum. The medal’s artistic style reflects the bold relief and symbolic political imagery characteristic of 1930s Germany.

The Saar Referendum was held under international supervision and resulted in the territory’s reintegration into Germany. As a historical artifact, this medal represents an important moment in European diplomatic and political history during the period between the two World Wars. Today it is collected for its connection to the Saar region, mining heritage, cartographic design, and twentieth-century historical events.

Struck in bronze and preserved in attractive MS63 PCGS condition, this medal is an appealing addition for collectors of German medals, political history, mining memorabilia, referendum issues, and European historical exonumia.

This item is offered strictly as a historical collectible. We condemn Nazism, fascism, and all forms of totalitarian ideology, political extremism, discrimination, and hatred. The medal is presented solely for educational, historical, and numismatic purposes.
