Description

One of eight 'Modern Pentathlon’ judge badges issued at Rome's 1960 Summer Games

Very rare ‘Modern Pentathlon’ judge’s badge issued for the Rome 1960 Summer Olympics. Minted by Stabilimenti Artistici Fiorentini, 21 gm, 38 mm x 48 mm, featuring a bronze-colored bezel with an inset medallion depicting Romulus and Remus with the Capitoline Wolf, and Olympic rings below. The enameled panel at the bottom features a bar of five colors (pink, blue, red, yellow, and green) and is lettered in gold, "GIUDICE." Reverse of panel stamped, "Stab. Artistici Fiorentini, Firenze." There were only eight of these badges issued at the 1960 Summer Olympics, a tremendously low number given that over 12,000 badges of 66 different types were distributed. The first such badge that we have ever offered.
