Description

Desirable bronze prize medal from Berlin's controversial XI Olympiad

Uncommon winner's medal for the Berlin 1936 Summer Olympics. Bronze, 55 mm, 62 gm, by Giuseppi Cassioli. The front, inscribed, “XI. Olympiad, Berlin, 1936,” features a ‘Seated Victory’ with the Colosseum in the background; the reverse portrays a winner carried by several jubilant athletes. The bottom edge is stamped, "B. H. Mayer, Pforzheim." With just 320 bronze prizes struck for the '36 Games, this is a scarce, desirable example—and just the second bronze medal we’ve offered from the controversial 1936 Berlin Olympics.
