Striking participation medal issued for the Antwerp 1920 Olympics. Bronze, 60 mm, 76 gm, by Pierre Theunis. The front depicts a dramatic image of a flying Victory crowning a charioteer on biga; the reverse features Nike standing before a burning censer and crowning a trio of victorious athletes, with Antwerp in the background and raised text, "VIIme Olympiade-Anvers, MCMXX." The medal has been cleaned and polished to an impressive shine.
