| Reverse description | A contemporary male discus thrower is depicted in high relief at centre, shown in dynamic mid-wind-up pose with the discus raised overhead, evoking the classical Discobolus tradition in a modern athletic rendering. Behind the figure, stylised grandstand bleachers extend diagonally to either side, with a torch and javelin visible to the left. To the upper left of the figure, the official logo of the European Athletics Championships appears. The legend XIII ΠΑΝΕΥΡΩΠΑΙΚΟΙ ΑΓΩΝΕΣ ΣΤΙΒΟΥ ΑΘΗΝΑ 1982 (13th European Athletics Championships Athens 1982) arcs along the upper periphery, while the inscription Ι. ΟΛΥΜΠΙΑΔΑ 1896 and the motto ΡΗΤΟΙ Τ'ΑΡΡΗΤΟΙ ΤΕ appear in the lower field and exergue respectively. The engraver's initials are visible in the lower left field. |
