Beautiful winner's medal from the London 1948 Summer Olympics. Silver, 51 mm, 68 gm, by Giuseppe Cassioli. The front is inscribed, "XIVth Olympiad, London, 1948," and features a 'Seated Victory' with the Coliseum in the background; the reverse portrays a winner being carried by a parade of jubilant athletes. With just 300 minted and 136 awarded, these lustrous second-place silver winners’ medals from the Games of the XIV Olympiad are as scarce as they are stunning.
