Description

Participation medal issued for the Athens 1906 Intercalated Olympics. Gilt bronze, 50 mm, 59 gm, by Nikephoros Lytras. The front shows a seated Nike holding a laurel crown above a phoenix rising from flames, with the Acropolis in the background; the reverse bears an inscribed Greek legend within a laurel wreath, with the mint along the bottom rim, "W. Pittner, Wien." The 1906 Athens participation medal was manufactured from the unused inventory of the 1896 Athens participation medals; the only difference being that a 1906 plaque has been soldered over the original 1896 date.
