This attractive 1900 Summer Games bronze winners medal measures approximately 60mm x 42mm and was designed by F. Vernon. One side of the medal features a victorious athlete standing on a podium inscribed "Concurs Scolaires de Jeux Athletiques" in raised letters, with the reverse showing a winged goddess scattering laurel branches over the Paris Exposition grounds, and reads, “Paris 1900, Republique Francaise Exposition Universelle,” and the artist’s name along the bottom edge. In extra fine plus to near uncirculated condition. These medals are the only Summer Olympics medals to have been rectangular in design and this example is now well over a century old.
