Czechoslovakia World War II Bratislava Liberation SP63 PCGS bronze medal 1946

The 1946 Czechoslovakia bronze commemorative medal honors the liberation of Bratislava during the final months of World War II. Issued shortly after the war, this historical piece reflects the dramatic moment when the Slovak capital was freed from occupation on April 4, 1945 — a date prominently remembered on the medal itself.

The obverse features a striking left-facing profile of a young woman wearing a headscarf, symbolizing the city and its people. Her calm yet determined expression evokes resilience after years of conflict. Around the portrait appears the date “4 APRIL 1945,” separated by small stars. Beneath the portrait is a stylized landscape with the silhouette of a hilltop structure or fortress above wavy lines representing the Danube River, with the date of issue “1946” and artist initials below.

The reverse displays a detailed medieval-style city seal. At the center stands a fortified castle with three towers, arched gates, and masonry walls, surrounded by a circular ornamental border resembling a wax seal. Decorative stars and floral rosettes appear around the emblem, while inscriptions encircle the design along the outer ring together with the historic date “1367,” referencing early privileges of the city of Bratislava.

Struck in bronze and certified PCGS SP63, this medal combines powerful wartime history with elegant sculptural artistry. It is a meaningful collectible for enthusiasts of World War II history, Central European heritage, and historical commemorative medals.
