| Commemorative Medals 1932:
The design for the Commemorative Medals was
produced by Julio Kilenyi of New York. On the face of the medallion is
a figure representing the international athlete carrying the banner of
the Xth Olympiad. On the reverse side are two figures supporting the shield
of the United States. One of these figures is holding an olive branch and
the other a shield bearing the seals of the State of California and of
the City of Los Angeles. On the side is the California poppy, and on the
margin, at the top, appear the words, "Los Angeles, California." The medals
were of bronze.
