The 1936 Germany Berlin Olympics Cycling bronze medal, designed by Placzek and certified PCGS MS62, celebrates the sporting history of the XI Summer Olympic Games. The obverse features five interlocking Olympic rings above elegant radiating lines, symbolizing international sporting unity, with the inscription RAD-STERN-FAHRT. The reverse displays a large commemorative bell decorated with the German eagle, Olympic rings, and ornamental lettering, surrounded by the date 1936. The bell recalls the famous Olympic Bell created for the Berlin Games, while the cycling theme highlights organized bicycle sporting events. The 1936 Olympics became a significant chapter in sporting history, although the Nazi regime exploited the Games for propaganda.
