Rare souvenir winner's medal issued for the Stockholm 1912 Olympics. Aluminum, 33 mm, 16 gm, by Erik Lindberg and Bertram Mackennal. The front depicts a victorious athlete with a palm branch being crowned with a laurel wreath by two seated females; the reverse, encircled with the text, "Olympiska Spelen I Stockholm," features a herald proclaiming the opening of the Olympic Games, with a bust of Ling, the founder of Swedish gymnastics, in the background. The front of the medal, designed by Mackennel, was originally used on the winner's medals for the 1908 London Olympics. Aluminum winner’s medals were sold as souvenirs during the 1912 Games. However, despite their open availability to the public, souvenir winner’s medals from Stockholm remain quite scarce today.
