Appealing winner's medal issued for the Helsinki 1952 Summer Olympics. Silver, 51 mm, 68 gm, by Giuseppe Cassioli. The front, inscribed, "XV Olympia, Helsinki, 1952," features a 'Seated Victory' with the Coliseum in the background; the reverse portrays a winner carried by jubilant athletes. Exhibits some scuffing and scratching to the finish. Includes its original dark blue presentation case. Only 320 of these silver second-place medals were awarded at the Helsinki games, making this is an uncommon and sought-after example.
