Gold medal from the historic Los Angeles 1932 Summer Olympics

Scarce winner's medal issued for the Los Angeles 1932 Summer Olympics. Gilt silver, 55 mm, 97 gm, designed by Giuseppe Cassioli, minted by Whitehead & Hoag. The front, inscribed, "Xth Olympiad, Los Angeles, 1932," features a 'Seated Victory' with the Coliseum in the background; the reverse portrays a winner carried by jubilant athletes. The medal exhibits uniform wear to the gilt on the obverse and edges. Complete with its Whitehead & Hoag paper box, with tape-repaired splits to the lid. A highly sought example of this classic design, extremely rare with its original box. The Olympic Games will make their historic return to Los Angeles in 2028, elevating the desirability of this beautiful first-place prize.
