Germany Third Reich Reichskolonialbund silver medal dated 1933 is a rare and visually striking historical piece connected with the German colonial movement and overseas propaganda organizations of the early 20th century.

The background fields display attractive silver toning with blue-gray patina that enhances the medal’s depth and artistic character.

The reverse features a globe centered on the African continent with engraved map outlines and surrounding exotic animal motifs including lions, antelopes, monkeys, and other wildlife figures placed around the border. The design references Germany’s colonial ambitions and overseas interests during the interwar period. The medal’s carefully engraved animals, circular layout, and symbolic geographic imagery create an impressive balance between propaganda art and medallic craftsmanship.
