Germany Weimar Gustav II Lutzen Battle Kienast-473 MS 64 PCGS silver medal 1932

The Germany Weimar Republic Gustav II Adolf – Battle of Lützen silver medal, cataloged as Kienast-473 and certified PCGS MS64, was issued in 1932 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the death of one of Europe’s most influential military leaders, King Gustav II Adolf of Sweden. Revered as the “Lion of the North,” Gustav Adolf played a decisive role in the Thirty Years’ War and became a symbol of Protestant resistance and military innovation.

The obverse presents a finely sculpted portrait of Gustav II Adolf facing slightly right, displaying his distinctive mustache, pointed beard, and noble attire draped across the shoulder. The dates 1594 and 1632 flank the portrait, marking his birth and death years. Decorative beads around the rim enhance the medal’s elegant appearance. The reverse features an elaborate inscription rendered in ornate Gothic calligraphy. Above the text appears the radiant Eye of Providence within clouds, emitting rays of light. Beneath the inscription are a prominent Christian cross, initials, decorative flourishes, and a globe-like orb, all framed by intricate ornamental elements. The design references faith, sacrifice, and the historical memory of the Battle of Lützen, where Gustav II Adolf fell in combat in 1632.

Struck in silver and preserved in PCGS MS64 condition, this medal combines exceptional artistry, religious symbolism, military history, and European heritage. It is an impressive collectible for enthusiasts of Swedish history, the Thirty Years’ War, historical medals, and beautifully engraved silver exonumia.
