Very rare participation medal issued for the Garmisch 1936 Winter Olympics. Silvered bronze, 60 mm, 72 gm, by Kunststickerei M. Jorres. The front, inscribed, “Olympische Winterspiele, 1936, Garmisch-Partenkirchen,” features the Olympic rings over an alpine summit; the reverse bears a simple motto, “Citius Altius Fortius,” over a fir branch. Only 120 of these medals were struck, making it one of the rarest of all participation medals.
