A lot of four original bronze Olympic commemorative medals from Tokyo 1964 and Seoul 1988, with original green cases for the Tokyo pieces and a velvet‑lined presentation box for the Seoul medal, showing age patina and wear.
Description from the seller
A fascinating collection of Olympic commemorative medals spanning two iconic Asian Olympic Games: the 1964 Summer Olympics and 1988 Summer Olympics.
This lot includes several Tokyo 1964 bronze commemorative medals housed in their original green display cases, alongside a larger Seoul 1988 equestrian-themed commemorative medal presented in its original velvet-lined presentation box.
The Tokyo medals feature dynamic athletic relief designs emblematic of the optimism and modernity of postwar Japan during the first Olympic Games held in Asia. The Seoul 1988 medal captures an elegant equestrian scene with strong Art Deco-inspired movement and official Olympic insignia.
These medals were produced as official commemorative items and remain highly collectible among Olympic memorabilia enthusiasts, sports historians, and medal collectors worldwide.
The contrast between the minimalist Japanese 1960s design aesthetic and the more luxurious late-1980s Korean presentation creates an especially attractive display set.
Condition:
* Medals show age-related patina, surface wear, and minor scratches
* Original cases included
* Seoul 1988 presentation box shows light storage wear
* Please carefully review all photographs for exact condition details
A rare opportunity to acquire commemorative pieces connected to two historic Olympic Games hosted in Asia.
