Germany Augsburgische Confession Luther Melanchton SP62 PCGS silver medal 1930

The 1930 German silver medal dedicated to the Augsburg Confession marks the 400th anniversary of one of the most important documents of the Protestant Reformation. Issued during the Weimar Republic and certified SP62 by PCGS, this finely crafted piece reflects both theological significance and classical medallic artistry.

The obverse features two prominent reformers in sharp profile: Martin Luther in the foreground wearing a traditional cap, and Philip Melanchthon behind him. Their names, “DR. MARTIN LUTHER” and “PHIL. MELANCHTHON,” are inscribed along the rim, separated by a small star symbol. The portraits display expressive facial features, detailed garments, and period headwear, emphasizing their historical identity. The reverse presents a symbolic composition centered on an open book, representing scripture, with the inscriptions “AUGSBURGISCHE CONFESSION,” “1530 1930,” and the theological motto “SOLA FIDE” across the pages. Below the book is a heraldic shield featuring a stylized flame or emblem, adding further symbolic depth.

This medal commemorates the presentation of the Augsburg Confession in 1530, a defining moment in the establishment of Lutheran doctrine.

A historically rich and visually striking silver medal, it is an excellent addition for collectors of Reformation history and religious numismatics.
