Description from the seller
1803 Silesian Patriotic Society Medal – H. Gube – Bronze 47mm – Rainbow Toned
German States – Prussia / Silesia
The Silesian Patriotic Society
Founding Medal – 1803
Bronze – 47 mm
Signed: H. Gube Fec.
Spectacular Rainbow Patina – High Grade
Offered here is a magnificent and large bronze medal (47 mm) struck for the Silesian Patriotic Society, commemorating its founding in 1803.
This is an important civic and cultural medal celebrating the awakening of patriotic identity in Silesia during the early 19th century, a period marked by literary, scientific, and national renewal within Prussian territories.
Your example presents an extraordinary rainbow toning, with iridescent hues of lilac, blue, gold, rose, and icy silver that shift beautifully under natural light.
Medals from this period often appear dull or cleaned — this one, instead, retains entirely original, glossy, and vividly reflective surfaces, making it a true collector-grade specimen.
Obverse
A superb classical allegory of Germania/Minerva, standing with spear and resting on a shield decorated with the Prussian eagle — a strong symbol of protection, virtue, and national pride.
The engraving is crisp and elegant, with flowing drapery and a balanced neoclassical composition.
Signed in exergue: H. GUBE FEC.
Reverse
Within a richly detailed oak wreath

Sharp details and high relief
Smooth fields with brilliant reflectivity
