Description

Second-place Seoul silver awarded to the 1988 Yugoslavia women's national basketball team

Winner's medal issued for women's basketball at the Seoul 1988 Summer Olympics. Silver, 61.3 mm, 140 gm, by the Korea Security Printing and Minting Corporation. The front features the traditional medal design by Giuseppe Cassioli of a ‘Seated Victory’ with the Colosseum in the background, and raised lettering, “XXIV Olympiad, Seoul, 1988”; the reverse features a sleek modern design by the Seoul Organizing Committee portraying a soaring dove of peace with a laurel branch in its beak, with the Seoul Olympic emblem above. Inscribed along the bottom edge with the name of the event: "Basketball, Women." The medal is missing its ribbon and exhibits moderate surface scuffing.

The Yugoslavia women's national basketball team had a strong showing at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, finishing in second-place silver medal position. Led by a talented roster that included standout players like Danira Nakić and Razija Mujanović, the team easily advanced through the tournament, losing only to the undefeated United States.
