Description

Distinctively ornate official olive leaf chain for a 1960 winners medal

Very rare bronze necklace from the ‘Muhammad Ali’ 1960 Summer Olympics held in Rome, Italy. Necklace consists of 18 individual bronze olive leaf links, each measuring approximately 1.5″ long, that connect with ‘hook and eye’ closures. With a single circular piece in the middle. In fine condition. Winners medals from the 1960 Olympics were the only ones to feature an olive leaf chain and those offered to collectors over the years are usually missing this coveted chain, making this a rare offering. Here you have the opportunity to add this official chain to the gold, silver, or bronze 1960s winners medal in your collection now, or in the future—potentially doubling the overall value of your medal ensemble.
