Gold medal from the VII Olympic Games 1920 in Antwerp. (Design by Josué Dupon) for a 1st place. With the inscription "VII Olympiad Anvers MCMXX". Silver, gold-plated (with the very thin gold plating typical of the time) Weight: approx. 89 grams, 6 cm. In the original case with gold embossed inscription "1me Prix VII Olympiade Anvers 1920" --Only 450 copies of this medal were produced. Box with minor signs of wear. There are hardly any gold medals left from this period because due to the thin gold plating, these medals tarnished very quickly and the owners cleaned this medal with a silver cloth and rubbed off the thin gold layer. A gold medal from the 1920 Olympics in this condition is hard to find! This medal comes directly from the estate of Charles Cnoops, one of the presidents of the organizing committee of the 1920 Atnwerp Olympic Games. "The organizing committee was created on August 9, 1913. It had four presidents: Édouard de Laveleye, president of the Belgian Olympic Committee, Henri de Baillet-Latour, member of the IOC, Robert Osterrieth, president of the Royal Yacht Club of Belgium and Charles Cnoops, vice-president of the Belgian Fencing Association."
