| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two swimmers in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field: one figure stands poised on a starting block in a diving stance, leaning forward with arms drawn back, while a second swimmer is shown in mid-stroke in the water below, surrounded by stylized splash lines suggesting vigorous movement. The encircling legend SEDE DOS XXVI JOGOS OLIMPICOS DE VERAO arcs around the upper periphery, with ATLANTA and the date 1996 inscribed along the lower border, separated by decorative dots. |
