Many thanks for any help & Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7940 Posts	Posted 01/26/2019 11:16 pm That's an interesting item. We probably have an expert in tokens/medallions like this who can solve your mystery. The first side is the official logo of the 2006 winter olympics. It shows up on lots of pins, hockey pucks, and other souvenirs/memorabilia. Not sure about the second side. A larger photo also showing the printing on the holder might help. Edited by tdziemia 01/26/2019 11:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16826 Posts	Posted 01/27/2019 04:53 am The 2006 WInter Games were in Torino (Turin), Italy, and both the medal and the card are in Italian. So I would assume that it was a locally-made souvenir medal, for sale to visitors to the games themselves (or perhaps for sale elsewhere in Italy at the time, too). If you run the Italian phrases printed on the card through Google Translate, you might find out the name of the company who made the medals. But given that they use the official Olympic logos (something which the IOC jealously guards) I would assume them to be officially-produced and licensed souvenirs, rather than unofficial items. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
