Description

Winner’s medal issued for the Paris 1900 Olympics. Silver, 42 mm x 60 mm, 55 gm, by Frederic Vernon, Paris. The front, inscribed “Republique Francaise, Exposition Universelle, Paris 1900,” features a winged goddess scattering laurels over the grounds of the Exposition; the reverse identifies the event, "Concours Scolaires de Jeux Athletiques [School Athletic Games Competitions]," and depicts a victorious athlete upon a podium with a stadium and the Acropolis in the background. Stamped "Argent" on the edge. A handsome example of this scarce solid silver prize medal.
