| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dynamic male runner in full stride, rendered in high relief in a classical athletic style reminiscent of ancient Greek art, occupying the central field. Behind the athlete, a stylized architectural background evoking ancient Greek columns and drapery is visible in the right field. A bold Greek meander (key) border runs along the lower and left portions of the design, referencing Hellenic antiquity. The inscription '... À ATHÈNES EN 2004' arcs along the upper left of the field, referencing the forthcoming Athens 2004 Olympic Games. The overall composition bridges the ancient Olympic tradition with the modern revival championed by Coubertin. |
