Award Diploma: 'Diploma Olympic Games Melbourne 1956', unallocated, with the printed signatures of Avery Brundage, Robert Menzies and W.S. Kent-Hughes, overall 44 x 58 cm. Rarely seen, either with the medal or without. The final choice of a design for the diploma incorporated the Coat-of-Arms of the City of Melbourne with its motto 'Vires Acquirit Eundo', from an engraved die. Imposed over the Coat-of-Arms was the Olympic motto, then the words ' Diploma Olympic Games Melbourne 1956,' and below these were three lines left for details of place, event and name to be completed. Only the 4th such example we have offered.
