A Championship Medal, won in a Major Tournament, represents a pinnacle achievement in the career of a tennis player. Offered here is the 1933 Wimbledon Mixed Doubles Champions Gold Medal that was presented to Germany's Hilde Krahwinkel. A three-time Finalist at the famed London grass court venue, the Hall of Famer claimed a Finals win on just one occasion. This captivating medal commemorates her accomplishment of victory, in which she and fellow countryman Gottfried von Cramm vanquished South Africa's Norman Farquharson and the U.K.'s Mary Heeley in a riveting 7-5, 8-6 contest.
Encapsulated and graded SP63 by PCGS. This glamorous, 1/2"-diameter Championship Medal displays the allegorical figure of Victory in dramatic relief on the obverse, and the event title, details and maker's marks on the reverse. A highly significant award, with a rich, international history!
