Offered here is an unawarded bronze winner's medal from the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, held February 8-19, 1984. It was the first and only Winter Games ever hosted in the Balkans before the country's subsequent dissolution amid the Yugoslav Wars.
The obverse has "XIV Zimske Olimpijske Igre Sarajevo 1984" ("14th Winter Olympic Games Sarajevo 1984") around the official Sarajevo 1984 snowflake emblem. The reverse features a stylized athlete’s head with a laurel crown. The pure bronze medal comes with its orange ribbon in its original blue hinged presentation case. Minted by Majdanpek (Belgrade), it measures 65 mm by 71 mm and weighs 184 grams (including ribbon). The reverse has the slightest bit of green oxidation; otherwise, it remains in Very Fine overall condition.
The 1984 Sarajevo Games are remembered fondly for iconic moments like British ice dancers Torvill and Dean's perfect-score Bolero performance, and surviving official medals from these historic Games are rather scarce, particularly in unawarded form with presentation case included. A compelling piece of Olympic and Cold War-era Winter Games history.
