@cf, that might just be @lc's pics because the one on tokencatalog looks way more brassy.

My example of OP's medal is also 39mm with a reeded edge (23.4gms). It looks like gold plated rather than brass to me.

A similar but not identical obverse die appears to have been paired with the following reverse which references just the 1932 LA olympics (weight 20.7gms)
