Germany Third Reich Reichskolonialbund Groenegress-1249 MS 61 PCGS Ag medal 1933

Germany Third Reich Reichskolonialbund silver medal dated 1933 is a rare and artistically powerful commemorative piece tied to the German colonial movement of the interwar period. Struck in silver and certified MS 61 by PCGS, this medal reflects the symbolic propaganda style and bold sculptural engraving popular in German medallic art of the 1930s. Its dramatic allegorical imagery, colonial motifs, and attractive original toning make it a highly collectible historical artifact for enthusiasts of political exonumia and world medals.

The obverse features a muscular nude male figure advancing through dense thorn branches while forcefully tearing apart twisted vines with both hands. The scene symbolizes struggle, expansion, and determination, rendered with sharp engraving and expressive anatomical detail. Thorned branches surround the figure across the entire field, while patches of grass beneath his feet add movement and realism to the composition. The medal displays rich silver-gray toning with darker highlights around the relief, emphasizing the dramatic sculptural depth of the design.

The reverse presents a globe centered on the African continent, engraved with latitude and longitude lines and stylized continental outlines. Surrounding the globe are small animal figures including lions, antelopes, and running exotic wildlife placed around the circular border. The combination of geographic imagery and fauna references overseas colonial themes associated with the Reichskolonialbund organization. The balanced layout, clean relief surfaces, and Art Deco style create a visually impressive and historically important medallic composition.

Certified by PCGS in Mint State 61 condition, this silver medal is an exceptional collectible for collectors of German historical medals, colonial memorabilia, wildlife-themed exonumia, and politically significant Art Deco medallic art. Its unusual allegorical design and scarce colonial subject matter make it a standout addition to advanced collections.
