Description

Participation medal issued for the London 1948 Summer Olympics. Bronze, 51 mm, 63 gm, by Bertram Mackennal/John Pinches. The front features a quadriga with a charioteer and judge, preparing to present an athlete with the palm of victory; the reverse bears a city view of London above raised lettering and Olympic rings, “XIV Olympiad, London, 1948." The medal bears some fading and tarnishing to the gilt. The gilt bronze participation medal of the XIV Olympiad remains quite rare, with this example only the second we have offered.
