A few words about the 1859-1889 Olympic (Olympian) Games:

In 1830, along with the re-instatement of Greece as free country, Greeks seemed to recollect their ancient history, especially from Classical years, and wanting to honor the ancient Greek phrase “Νοῦς ὑγιὴς ἐν σώματι ὑγιεῖ” translated as “Healthy mind exists, in a healthy body”, started forming the groundwork to revive the ancient Olympic Games.

Some initiatives as follows:- 1833, Poem of Panagiotis Soutsos, (intellectual, poet of the time) “Dialogue of the Dead”, where he clearly proposes the revival of the ancient Olympic Games.- 1834, Panagiotis Soutsos sends a formal proposal to Ioannis Kolettis, minister of internal affairs of Greece, asking the same.- 1835, after P.Soutsos’ proposal, I. Kolettis, by his “Memorandum of the instituting of National celebra-tions and public games on the model of Antiquity, submits a formal proposal to King Othon.- 1837, Royal Decree signed by Queen Amalia, formally gives shape to what the Games would look like.- 1838, the municipality of Letrina (today’s municipality of Pyrgos, near Olympia) proposed to hold Olym-pic Games on March 25th honoring Greece’s national celebrations.

It is said, that Evangelis Zappas was inspired by the work of P.Soutsos, and decided to revive the ancient Olympic Games himself, proposing it to king Othon, and funding them completely by himself. This lead to acceptance, and ultimately, the revival of the ancient Olympic Games which were held in Athens from 1859-1889 became a reality. The Olympian Games consisted of two parts, an exhibition held in Zappeion Megaron (Mansion), as well as the athletic Games held in Ludwig sq. (now Omonia sq.) in1859, and in the Games after that, in the Panathenaic stadium where the Olympic Hymn (composed by Orfanidis) and athlete’s oath would be heard.The Olympian Games were accepted with great excitement by national and international press, as well as societies who promoted the benefits of physical education (e.g. Wenlock, a committee of gentlemen in England, initiated in 1850 who held their own local athletic games, the Wenlock Olympian Games) and praised and supported the initiative for revival of Olympian Games, and the start of modern Olympic Games as they mentioned them (The London Review, Sept. 15, 1860).

The temporary wooden Zappeion building, where the exhibition part of the Olympian Games were held until 1875.

Facts about the 1859 medals: Although the official report mentions the numbers of the medals that were awarded during these Games, in fact, no medals were ever awarded. This is the reason why such medals are not found anywhere. It was planned for the medals to be awarded, but they were never actually produced, thus no medals were awarded. What was produced, are the sample medals before the actual production. One of each kind, Gold (fist and second Class), Silver (first and second class) and Bronze (only one, no classes) were ever produced, all using the same white metal sample material.

The only one essay medal that the National Numismatic museum owns was loaned to Berlin Exhibition “Olympia: Myth, cult, Games” from 31 August 2012 to 7 January 2013 in Berlin and then Doha, Qatar, from March 28 to the end of October 2013.

The medal offered in this auction is a unique opportunity to own the only one sample of the 1859 Bronze winner medal that was ever produced. This medal is Unique! VF ($ 44,000)
