Rare Olympic Order in Silver from the collection of Associated Press journalist Larry Siddons, a longtime reporter on the Olympic Games, housed in its hinged blue case by GDE Bertoni, featuring the silver Olympic rings on the lid. The silver collar-style award measures approximately 8.75˝ x 12.75˝, and features the Olympic rings at center, flanked by linked olive leaves leading into a silver chain. Complete with its presentation card: "Larry Siddons: In recognition of your outstanding merit in the cause of world sport and your faithfulness to the Olympic ideal as illustrated by Pierre de Coubertin, Renovator of the Olympic Games, I award you the Olympic Order."
Established in 1975, the Olympic Order is the highest award of the IOC and is issued to recognize particularly distinguished contributions to the Olympic Movement. It was originally issued in three grades—gold, silver, and bronze—with gold reserved primarily for heads of state or exceptional circumstances.
