Two uncommon commemorative medallions from the Berlin 1936 Summer Olympics:
A metal medallion honoring Japan’s victory in the men's marathon event at the 1936 Summer Olympic Games, 302 gm, 102 mm, with the front featuring embossed images of a Kabuki mask, an athlete holding up a wreath in front of the Olympic rings, and a Japanese flag above the letters “NRR,” and the reverse raised text in Japanese. Includes its original presentation case. The marathon was won by Sohn Kee-chung, a Korean athlete competing for Japan. Sohn, who refused to acknowledge the Japanese anthem at the victory ceremony, was the first Korean athlete to win an Olympic gold medal, though the medal remains credited as Japan's first victory in the Olympic marathon.
Scarce Böttger porcelain medallion from the Berlin 1936 Summer Games made by Meissen, 114 mm in diameter, with an embossed Olympic Bell on one side and a raised design of the Reichssportfeld on the other, with a crossed swords mark below. In overall fine condition.
