Description

Handsome participation medal issued for the Paris 1924 Summer Olympics. Bronze, 55 mm, 72 gm, by Raoul Benard.

Includes the original brown presentation case with red interior; the case's impressive condition indicates that the recipient was perhaps an official, representative, or other VIP.
