Official presentation case for the winner’s medals of the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics, accompanied by its original protective outer box, certificate of authenticity, and manufacturer-issued informational and care documents. The folding presentation case, 8.5˝ x 11˝ x 3˝, is bound in textured purple leather with gilt Olympic rings to the exterior and opens in a triptych format to reveal a fitted circular recess designed to house a Paris 2024 winner’s medal. The interior is embellished with gilt Paris 2024 and Olympic insignia, and retains the original presentation card bearing the facsimile signature of IOC President Thomas Bach. Includes the original winner’s medal certificate and official descriptive and care documentation produced for Olympic medal recipients. Also included is the original blue textured protective presentation box with gilt Olympic rings. The medal and accompanying Olympian lapel pin are not present. In fine overall condition.
Designed by the Parisian jewelry house Chaumet, the first jeweler ever commissioned to design Olympic medals, and produced by Monnaie de Paris, the medals of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games incorporated one of the most distinctive elements ever used in Olympic medal design: a hexagonal piece of original iron from the Eiffel Tower, preserved following renovation works undertaken during the twentieth century and donated by the Société d’Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel (SETE) for inclusion in the medals. Presented exclusively to medal-winning athletes, these cases served as the official repositories for some of the most celebrated prizes in world sport.
