This is the real deal-awarded to a member of the Cuban baseball team that won the gold. All original, it is engaved "Baseball" on the edge. 2.75'' in diameter with original ribbon. Two small dings on the bottom below the batter on the reverse are the only flaws. Raised letters on the front read "XXVI Olmpiad Atlanta 1996." and on the back read "Centennial Olympic Games Atlanta 1996." Comes with LOA and a copy of a photo of the Cuban player wearing this medal at the presentation ceremonies.
