Germany Weimar Volksspende Niobe Schlumberger-123 Ship MS 62 PCGS Ag medal 1932

This 1932 Germany Weimar Republic silver medal, cataloged as Schlumberger-123 and certified PCGS MS62, commemorates the Volksspende Niobe, a national fundraising effort connected with the training sailing ship Niobe. The medal reflects Germany’s maritime traditions and honors those associated with the vessel, which became a symbol of sacrifice and remembrance following its tragic loss in 1932. Rich in nautical imagery and historical significance, it is an appealing collectible from the final years of the Weimar Republic.

The obverse features a beautifully engraved three-masted sailing ship navigating rough seas. The design captures an impressive level of detail, including billowing sails, rigging, masts, anchor, deck structures, hull planking, ropes, and foaming waves beneath the vessel. The surrounding inscription references the Volksspende Niobe fundraising campaign, creating a dramatic maritime composition.

The reverse displays a simple memorial design centered on a tall cross rising from a plain horizon. The date of the tragedy appears beside the cross, while an inscription around the border commemorates the memory of those connected with the ship. At the bottom are laurel branches and an Iron Cross motif, adding military and commemorative symbolism to the medal.

Struck in silver and certified PCGS MS62, this medal is highly desirable for collectors of maritime history, naval memorabilia, sailing ships, Weimar Republic medals, and historical silver exonumia. A meaningful tribute to courage, remembrance, and Germany’s seafaring heritage.
