Summary/Abstract: The author presents four unified sports pads which were struck after the Great War: Paris; 1. "The Interallied Games of the Pershing Stadium of Paris", engraver L. Cariat, 2. "The National Sporting Company of Bucharest - The Horse Show of 6-8 October 1921", engraver M. Gerscovici, Bucharest; 3. "The National Sporting Company of Bucharest - The Horse Show of 5-8 October 1922", engraver Fessier, Bucharest; 4. "The National Sporting Company of Bucharest - The Horse Show of October 6-8, 1923", engraver Fessier, Bucharest. The first booklet was coined during the inter-allied games organized by the American general Pershing (on the stadium that bears his name) in 1919 to commemorate the signing of peace treaties between the Allies and Germany. At the games were invited to participate also Romanian athletes. A uniform plate dated 1919, worked by the engraver L. Cariat (No. 1), was struck on this occasion. After two years, the Romanian engravers of Bucharest, M. Gerscovici and Fessier, used the Cariat model to strike identical uniform commemorative sports pads (No. 2-4). The author considers that these plays commemorated the national horse races of resistance for officers, which took place during these years, in October, following the itinerary inscribed on the platelets
