| Obverse description | Within the stainless steel centre, a stylized figure of an athlete in mid-stride is depicted in high relief, rendered in a dynamic, modernist outline style suggestive of a sprinter or long-jumper in full extension. To the right of the figure, the official Rio 2016 Olympic Games logo — comprising the interlocking figures emblem above the Olympic rings — appears in the field. Diagonal lines in the lower portion of the centre suggest a track or ground plane. The inscription BRASIL arcs along the upper rim of the bronze-plated steel outer ring. |

| Reverse description | The stainless steel centre features the large stylized numeral '1' rendered in a bold, geometric design with diagonal line-fill detailing, characteristic of Brazilian Real coinage. The word REAL is inscribed horizontally beneath the numeral, with the date 2014 immediately below in the exergue area, accompanied by a wavy line motif representing water. A cluster of five small stars appears to the upper right of the numeral. The bronze-plated steel outer ring is decorated with an intricate geometric pattern of diagonal hatching and interlocking motifs running continuously around the circumference. |
