Exquisite silver winner’s medal awarded for women's judo at the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics. Silver, 86 mm, 550 gm, by Junichi Kawanishi. The front of the medal features text across the top, “Games of the XXXII Olympiad Tokyo 2020,” above the Olympic rings and a winged Nike flying over Panathinaikon Stadium with the Acropolis in the background; the reverse features the emblem of the Tokyo Games set against a ‘polished stone’ background with surrounding curved lines that represent different patterns of light and the energy of the athletes and their supporters. The bottom edge of the medal is engraved with the name of the event, "Judo / Women's," as well as the weight class. Retains its original multicolored ribbon, which bears traditional Japanese design motifs found in ichimatsu moyo (harmonized chequered patterns) and kasane no irome (traditional kimono layering techniques) in a modern format. Complete with its original wooden presentation case with magnetic lid, accompanying cardboard box, and the associated silver winner's pin. The medal exhibits some minor surface wear, primarily to the reverse.
