Attractive - and unusually encountered! - commemorative plaque (ie. 'Erinnerungs- o. nichttragbare Medaille') showing a map of the Saarland and bearing the text: 'Volksabstimmung im Saargebiet - 13.1.1935'

This is an attractive - and with certainty not that often- ie. scarcely encountered! - silver-toned- (and genuine silver-based!) so-called: commemorative-plaque (ie. 'Erinnerungs- o. nichttragbare Medaille') a (detailed) map of the Saarland and bearing the text: 'Volksabstimmung im Saargebiet - 13.1.1935' on its front and on its back the text: 'Deutsch die Saar immer Dar' and showing an illustration of a farmer (or mining-official) and that comes in an overall wonderful and nicely preserved, condition. The neat - medium-sized- and/or regular-weight-piece having an approximate diameter of 3,7 cms. - has truly pronounced detail and was IMO never cleaned nor polished: it has maintained a neat silver-toned age-patina (but also shows some minimal tarnish - see pictures). The piece is void of a silver-content-mark but shows a clear makers'-designation on the rim (that reads: 'Hauptmünzamt - Feinsilber'). These neat - semi-official - presentation-pieces were IMO used as some sort of awards as (presumably) handed-out at party-related gatherings or alike. The piece originates from a private household in Germany where it was recently uncovered as issued and stored for decades (see pictures). Simply a very attractive and with certainty unusually encountered table-medal ie. 'Erinnerungs- o. nichttragbare Medaille' that might merit some further investigative work!
