| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dynamic high-relief sculptural composition depicting ancient and modern relay racers in mid-stride across a stylised running track, rendered with horizontal ruled lines in the lower field to suggest lanes. In the foreground, two modern athletes execute a baton exchange, their figures rendered in polished relief against a frosted background. Behind them, two ancient Greek runners — depicted in a rougher, archaic sculptural style — are shown in full stride, evoking classical athletic imagery. The juxtaposition of ancient and modern figures emphasises the continuity of the Olympic tradition from antiquity to the present day. The field is otherwise plain, with the engraver's initials visible in the lower right area of the composition. |
