Unusual uniface winner's medal issued as a sample or display variant for the St. Moritz 1948 Winter Olympics. Bronze, 60 mm, 80 gm, by Paul Andre Droz. This uniface medal features the front design only, with the French legend, "Vmes Jeux Olympiques D'Hiver, St. Moritz 1948," situated between two snow crystals. The mint, "Hugenin," is engraved below. The reverse is blank, but on awarded examples would feature a torchbearer's hand with the Olympic motto.
The St. Moritz Games were the first to be celebrated following World War II, and were bestowed with the moniker, 'The Games of Renewal.' Due to their roles in the preceding war, both Japan and Germany were not invited to compete; they subsequently rejoined the Winter Games in 1952.
