You are bidding on a very rare Sterling Silver Tokyo Universiade Coin from 1967. The Tokyo Universiade consisted of a summer and winter meet held under the auspices of the FISU. The tournament was also referred to as the “Student’s Olympiad” and marked the eighth stop on the FISU history tour.
Notable on the coin is a stamped Japanese flag as well as .925. The token weighs 18.63 grams.
These games met with the challenge of having the Eastern bloc nations boycotting the Games due to the political dynamics of the time.
These coins are extremely rare and do not come to auction very often.
