Deelnemerspenning van de Negende Olympiade te Amsterdam 1928 1928

This bronze medal, created by Johannes Cornelis Wienecke in 1928, is a commemorative piece for the Ninth Olympiad held in Amsterdam. The medal, which is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, depicts a nude male and female figure flanking an altar with a burning torch, symbolizing the Olympic Games. The figures hold wreaths of laurel leaves, representing victory, while the scale of justice, a symbol of fairness, is displayed at the bottom of the medal. This artwork captures the spirit of the Olympic Games and is a reminder of the historical significance of the 1928 event.
