Featured here is a participation medal issued for the 1936 Winter Olympic Games held in the Bavarian Alps ski resort of Garmisch-Partenkirchen Germany. Made of bronze it measures 60 mm in diameter and was designed by Kunststickerei M. Jorres. The obverse shows the Olympic rings over an alpine summit surrounded by the German legend ["Olympische Winterspiele 1936 Garmisch-Partenkirchen"]. The reverse has the Olympic motto ["Citius Altius Fortius"] over a fir branch. Encapsulated and graded MS-64 BN (https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-grading/grading-scale) in a lovely NGC holder it presents beautifully. This is one the scarcest Olympic participation medals to collect as only 755 athletes competed at the '36 Winter Games and apparently just 1660 of these were struck.
