Description

Torino's magnificent silver winner's medal

Stunning unawarded winner's medal issued for ice dancing at the Torino 2006 Winter Olympics. Silver, 470 gm, 108 mm, designed by Quatrini and minted by Ottaviani International. The front features a fluid geometric design of the emblem of the Games at the bottom; the reverse has a polished pictogram of the sport—figure skating—and is engraved with the event, "Mixed Ice Dancing." The edge is engraved in Italian, French, and English: "XX Giochi Olimpici Invernali, XX Jeux Olympiques d'Hiver, XX Olympic Winter Games." The uniquely designed medal has a hole at the center, through which the red, gold, and fuschia ribbon is tied. Complete with its original wood-and-plastic curved display case and cardboard box, which is creased. At the time, the Torino winner's medal was the largest ever issued.
