A rare silvered bronze 1936 Berlin Olympic Games participant's medal, designed by Otto Laczek The official report states that 20,000 medals were made by four foundries, and these can be differentiated by their colour. However, no mention is made of silvered or gilt medals, but a few such as the present example do exist. Other examples are in the personal collection of Jim Greensfelder, the noted Olympic historian.
