Silver medal/badge from the International Olympic Committee’s meeting in Oslo in 1935. The agenda of the meeting was planning of the Olympic Games that would take place five years later, in 1940. Japan tried to get the Olympic Games to take part their country, while the Italian Count and committee member Albert Boncossa had been given a clear mandate from Mussolini to keep the Olympic Games in Italy. Destiny would have it that the Olympic Games of 1940 never took place due to the Second World War. The medal was produced in sterling silver (925/1000), 7.77 g, 31 mm, by goldsmith David Andersen in Oslo. The motive contained the Olympic rings, «OSLO 1935», Oslo city’s coat of arms, and the letters «C.I.O.» («Comité International Olympique»).
