Unawarded winner's medal issued for the Montreal 1976 Summer Olympics. Silver, 60 mm, 154 gm, by Giuseppe Cassioli, Ottawa. The front, inscribed, "XXIe Olympiade Montreal 1976," features a 'Seated Victory' with the Coliseum in the background; the reverse features the Montreal Olympic emblem and victor's laurel wreath. The edge, which would normally feature the engraved name of the event, remains blank. The medal bears a few areas of light scuffing to finish. Includes the original silver chain and rare wooden case with black leather slipcover embossed with a silver Montreal Games emblem. An exceptionally rare example made all the more desirable by its unawarded status—there were only 364 silver winner's medals produced for the Montreal 1976 Games.
