The Commemorative Medal for Rescue from Danger 1925-1933 was instituted on 9 June 1925 for rescue from danger at the peril of rescuer’s life. The medal was awarded very sparingly.
The medal is large and circular, and measures 48.72mm (1.92 inches) in diameter. Records show that it was originally manufactured in silver, however there are several examples struck in zinc alloy – perhaps manufactured at a time of material shortages and economic crisis or for collectors at the time.
The obverse has the Prussian eagle, head facing right, wings outstretched, and the inscription ‘REPUBLIK’ above and ‘PREUSSEN’ below. The reverse is inscribed ‘FÜR RETTUNG AUS GEFAHR’ (“For Rescue from Danger”) within an oak leaf border in relief.
