London 1908 Olympics Bronze Participation Medal

Participation medal issued for the London 1908 Olympics. Bronze, 51 mm, 61 gm, by Bertram Mackennal. The front depicts a quadriga with charioteer and judge, preparing to present the palm of victory; the reverse bears the winged figure of Fame standing on a globe with raised text on either side, "Elis, Athens, Paris, St. Louis, London" and "In Commemoration of the Olympic Games Held in London, 1908." Inscribed on the edge, "Vaughton." Includes its original black P. Vaughton & Sons hinged case, stamped on the lid: "Olympic Games, London. 1908." Presented to select officials and VIPs, this bronze version of the medal is far scarcer than the pewter version given to athletes.
