London 1948 Summer Olympics Gold Winner's Medal Marvelous winner's medal issued for the London 1948 Summer Olympics. Gilt silver, 51 mm, 76 gm, by Giuseppe Cassioli. The front, inscribed, "XIVth Olympiad, London, 1948," features a 'Seated Victory' with the Coliseum in the background; the reverse portrays a winner carried by jubilant athletes. Complete with its original hinged case by John Pinches (Medalists) Ltd., London, gilt-stamped on the lid: "The Olympic Games, London, 1948." The medal exhibits only minor rubbing to gilt on the edges, and the case bears light overall wear. A classic gold medal from a truly momentous Olympiad — the London Games represented the first Summer Olympics since 1936 after a 12-year hiatus due to World War II. With only 138 first-place winner's medals awarded, they remain quite scarce — especially in their original cases — and are rarely seen in such fine condition.
