Two plaques—one in silver and one in bronze—commemorating the City of Tokyo's receipt of the Olympic Cup in 1964 for organizing that year's Summer Olympics. Silver and bronze, 50 x 72 mm, by Huguenin. The front depicts the Olympic Cup, and the reverse features an eight-line legend in French (translated): "The Olympic Cup Created by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, Renovator of the Modern Era Olympic Games, has been Awarded to the City of Tokyo." Both are housed in their original brown leatherette case, inscribed with a gold legend in Japanese.
Instituted by Pierre de Coubertin in 1906, the Olympic Cup is awarded annually to an institution or association with a record of merit and integrity in actively developing the Olympic Movement. It is housed at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, and the names of the recipients are engraved on a plaque on the trophy.
