Large winner's medal issued for the Torino 2006 Winter Olympics. Bronze, 435 gm, 105 mm, designed by Quatrini and minted by Ottaviani International. The front features a fluid geometric design of the emblem of the Games at the bottom; the reverse has a polished pictogram of the sport—cross country skiing—and is engraved with the event, "Men's 15+15 km Pursuit." The edge is engraved in Italian, French, and English: "XX Giochi Olimpici Invernali, XX Jeux Olympiques d'Hiver, XX Olympic Winter Games." The uniquely designed medal has a hole at the center, through which the red, gold, and fuschia ribbon is tied. Complete with its original wood-and-plastic curved display case. At the time, the Torino winner's medal was the largest ever issued.
