Description

London 1948 Summer Olympics bronze medal, complete with its unblemished original box

Winner’s medal issued for the London 1948 Summer Olympics. Bronze, 51 mm, 64 gm, by Giuseppe Cassioli. The front, inscribed, “XIVth Olympiad, London, 1948,” features a ‘Seated Victory’ with the Colosseum in the background; the reverse portrays a winner carried by jubilant athletes. Complete with its hinged case by John Pinches (Medalists) Ltd., London, gilt-stamped on the lid: "The Olympic Games, London, 1948." These third-place winner’s medals are quite scarce given that only 300 of them were minted, and especially desirable when accompanied by the original case. A spectacular example of a handsome Olympic prize.
