AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Official commemorative medals of the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games, gilt bronze, Japan-only distribution, set of two. Issued by the Moscow Olympic Organizing Committee and approved by the Japanese Olympic Committee (JOC), ensuring clear provenance.

A piece that reflects international sports history during the Cold War, this cross-cultural collectible links the Soviet and Japanese Olympic bodies. Because distribution was limited to Japan, surviving examples are not abundant, and the set also holds documentary value for the year. The cased configuration suits organized collections and display, with a calm gilt sheen that presents neatly.

Ideal for collectors of Olympic memorabilia and 20th-century history, it is a conversation-starting item across generations and interests.
