Winner’s medal issued for the London 1948 Summer Olympics. Silver, 51 mm, 65 gm, by Giuseppe Cassioli. The front, inscribed, “XIVth Olympiad, London, 1948,” features a ‘Seated Victory’ with the Coliseum in the background; the reverse portrays a winner carried by jubilant athletes. With only 300 of these second place winner’s medals minted and 136 awarded, they are quite scarce.
