Description

Official Order of Merit plaque for the equestrian events held in Stockholm during the 1956 Summer Olympics. Bronze-tone, 11 gm, 31 mm x 44 mm, depicting a classical horse and rider above Olympic rings. The reverse is plain. The main 1956 Summer Games were held in Melbourne, Australia, but the equestrian events could not be held there due to quarantine regulations; Stockholm was chosen as the alternative site. The equestrian events began in June, nearly six months earlier than the official opening ceremonies in Melbourne.
