| Reverse description | Two male athletes are depicted in dynamic relief clearing a hurdle in mid-stride, their figures rendered with vigorous naturalistic detail occupying the central field. Below the hurdle, the official emblem of the 1980 Moscow Summer Olympic Games — a stylised tower surmounted by a five-pointed star above the Olympic rings — is prominently displayed. The legend OLYMPIC GAMES arcs around the upper periphery, with the year 1980 incused below it. The engraver's initials ER appear in small raised characters at the lower right of the field. |
