Rx: Open wreath around:ROMAN REVIVAL/ BY/ THE OLYMPIC CLUB/ APRIL XVII-XXII/MDCCCLXXXXIII/ SAN FRANCISCO/ CAL.This rare token was the subject of an extensive article by JerrySchimmel in the August 1998 TAMS Journal. The Olympic Clubwas started as an athletic club with an all-male membership ofyoung well-to-do professionals. The erection of a new buildingfor the club necessitated some fund raising and the Olympiansdecided to stage a 6 day Roman Circus and charge admission.,Attorney jack Schroeder and his wife presided over the festivitiesas Augustus and Livia. An unknown number of these medals weregiven to participants and some were sold to the public. Schmmel’sTAMS article explores in detail the scandal which resulted from thisill-advised venture.
