Unawarded winner's medal from the Munich 1972 Summer Olympics. Bronze, 66 mm, 133 gm, designed by Gerhard Marcks and manufactured by the Bavarian Mint. The front is inscribed, “XX. Olympiade Munchen 1972,” and depicts the 'Seated Victory' with the Colosseum in the background; the reverse portrays the mythological twins Castor and Pollux, the patrons of competitive sport and friendship, with the artist's monogram below. The edge, which would normally feature the engraved name of the event, remains blank, and its chain is no longer present. This was the first winner's medal since 1928 to feature a new design on the reverse, replacing the traditional depiction of a victorious athlete carried by a jubilant crowd.
