| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two hands in the act of passing a ceremonial baton, symbolising the Olympic handover from London to Rio de Janeiro. Beneath the hands appear the national flags of the United Kingdom and Brazil, flanking the central motif. The London 2012 Olympic Games logo is prominently displayed below, while the legend above and around references both host cities and their respective Olympic years. The design by Jonathan Olliffe commemorates the formal handover of the Olympic torch relay tradition between the two nations. |
