1924 Chamonix first Winter Olympic Games an extremely rare participant's medal by R. Bénard, the obverse depicting victorious athlete holding skates and skis with Mont Blanc in background, the reverse with French legend in 14 lines, 55mm.
The only time that the participation medal was the same as a prize medal, there were only 258 participants in Chamonix, very rare accordingly.
