3rd Place Trophy Appraisal

FC Tirschenreuth 3rd Place Acrylic Trophy

This is a commemorative sports trophy dated 2013, awarded for 3rd place ('3. Sieger') to FC Tirschenreuth on the occasion of the 'Bahnrenovierung' (track renovation). The item is constructed with a translucent green glass or acrylic rectangular base supporting a faceted clear acrylic circular medallion body. Set within the clear body is a metallic circular insert featuring a bas-relief design: an Olympic-style torch, a laurel branch, and a cubic geometric shape, all framed by a silver-tone laurel wreath. Below this medallion is a rectangular silver-tone metal plaque engraved with German text in a black fraktur-style font. The construction utilizes typical modern mass-production techniques for sports awards, featuring adhesive high-bond surfaces to join the various components. The physical condition appears fair but shows signs of aging and wear; there is visible delamination or bubbles appearing in the adhesive layer between the faceted circle and the rectangular base, and the metallic surfaces show some minor oxidation and fine scratches. The piece represents a specific local sporting event from the early 21st century and is characterized by its geometric, multi-material aesthetic.
