Description

Rare Olympic Order in Silver from the collection of a longtime IOC member and stalwart of Australian sport

Rare Olympic Order in Silver from the collection of Phillip W. Coles, housed in its original hinged blue leather case by Bertoni, 11.75˝ x 15.5˝ x 1.5˝, featuring the silver Olympic rings on the lid. The silver collar-style award measures approximately 8.75˝ x 12.75˝, and features the Olympic rings at center, flanked by linked olive leaves leading into a silver chain.

Established in 1975, the Olympic Order is the highest award of the IOC and is issued to recognize particularly distinguished contributions to the Olympic Movement. It was originally issued in three grades—gold, silver, and bronze—with gold reserved primarily for heads of state or exceptional circumstances.
