Description

Belgian national medal presented to a multi-medal winning archer at the 1920 Antwerp Games

This National Gold winners medal was presented to Hubert Van Innis, who was selected to represent Belgium as an archer in the 1920 Antwerp Olympics. Medal measures approximately 27mm x 38mm and is an archer championship medal. Front features a raised rendering of a bow and arrow inside a laurel leaf, with a crown at the top with a hanging loop. Reverse bears raised letters, in Flemish and French, which read, “Great National Championship—7th Olympiad 1920—Great National Championship.” Condition is extra fine plus. Belgium ranks quite high in overall Olympic medals won, and in 1920, the country took gold in all of the archery events, with Van Innis capturing six medals total (four gold and two silver) at the Games, to accompany his three medals from the 1900 Olympics. A very attractive gold medal representation.
