Germany Third Reich Saarland PREUSS Museler-15.3.49a SP58 PCGS silver medal 1935

Germany Third Reich Saarland Referendum silver medal dated 1935 is a historically significant commemorative issue connected with the Saar plebiscite, one of the most important territorial and political events in pre-war Europe. Certified SP 58 by PCGS, this silver medal combines strong historical symbolism with clean minimalist medallic design typical of 1930s German art. The piece reflects the industrial identity of the Saar region and commemorates its political transition during a turbulent period of European history. Its original silver surfaces, balanced relief, and historical relevance make it a desirable collectible for advanced numismatic and exonumia collections.

The obverse depicts a standing miner in traditional industrial clothing, rendered in a restrained and elegant style. The worker wears a cap, loose work garments, sturdy shoes, and holds a mining lantern hanging at his side, symbolizing the coal and steel industries that formed the economic foundation of the Saar territory. The figure stands alone against smooth open fields, emphasizing the dignity of labor and the connection between regional identity and heavy industry. Fine engraved details appear in the folds of the clothing, facial features, lantern, and narrow ground line beneath the figure.

The reverse features a stylized map of the Saar region presented in geometric Art Deco form. The outlined territory occupies the center of the composition and is surrounded by bold circular legends and decorative stars. Small rectangular markers across the map create a structured cartographic appearance while maintaining the artistic simplicity of the medal. The design visually links geography, politics, and industry into a compact historical composition.

Struck in silver and certified SP 58 by PCGS, this medal represents an attractive example of German historical exonumia tied to mining culture, regional history, and European political developments of the 1930s. Its combination of historical context, industrial symbolism, and collectible certified preservation makes it an excellent addition to collections of historical medals, German numismatics, and Art Deco medallic art.
