A historic 1896 Olympic silver medal sold for $141,658, triple its estimate, at a Danish auction.
A silver medal from the 1896 Athens Olympics, the first modern Games, sold for DKK 900,000 ($141,658) at a Danish auction—triple its estimated value—after being auctioned by Bruun Rasmussen.
The medal, one of the earliest Olympic artifacts, drew strong international interest, though the auction house could not confirm if it was won by Danish weightlifter Viggo Jensen, who claimed Denmark’s first Olympic gold in that event.
The sale, which reached DKK 1,152,000 including fees, reflects growing collector demand for historic sports memorabilia.
