Medals Related to the Olympic Games, Sweden, Olympic Games, Stockholm, 1912, a uniface copper-washed lead medal or pass, signature uncertain, seated figure of Zeus holding Nike, spires and tall buildings in background, Olympic rings in field, back stamped 121, 70mm (Michel –). Strictly fine but extremely rare (£100-200)

The design of this closely resembles the central element of the obverse design of the official medal by Erik Lindberg, though in all probability this is not Lindberg’s work; perhaps it could be a trial piece. Illustration reduced
