Scarce second-place prize from '36 Berlin

Highly appealing winner’s medal issued for the Berlin 1936 Summer Olympics. Silver, 55 mm, 72 gm, by Giuseppe Cassioli. The front, inscribed, “XI. Olympiade, Berlin, 1936,” features a ‘Seated Victory’ with the Coliseum in the background; the reverse portrays a winner carried by jubilant athletes. Stamped on the edge, "B. H. Mayer, Pforzheim, 990." Exhibits some spotted tarnishing to both sides. With its classic, powerful design, this silver winner's medal is just the second we've offered from the historically important 1936 Berlin Games.
