Los Angeles, California, 1932. 10th Olympics held in Los Angeles, California. Back has outline of the LA Coliseum and where the different rows are located. Intaglio printed, 1/2 inch stain bottom left margin. The Games were held during the worldwide Great Depression, with some nations not traveling to Los Angeles; 37 nations competed, compared to the 46 in the 1928 Games in Amsterdam, and then-U.S. President Herbert Hoover did not attend the Games. The organizing committee did not report the financial details of the Games, although contemporary newspapers claimed that the Games had made a profit of US$1,000,000. Remarkably, the selection process consisted of a single bid, from Los Angeles, and as there were no bids from any other city, Los Angeles was selected by default to host the 1932 Games. It was at this Olympics that an Olympic Village was first built, and that a podium for the winners was also first used. Printed by Jeffries Bank Note Company which was eventually acquired by ABNC.
