| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely modelled high-relief composition depicting two synchronised swimmers emerging from stylised water, their arms raised in unison above their heads in a characteristic routine pose. Decorative scrollwork and floral motifs in the Chinese artistic tradition flank the central figures on either side, evoking the host city of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympic Games. The mirrored postures of the two athletes convey symmetry and athleticism, while the stylised wave patterns in the lower field reinforce the aquatic subject matter. The date 2008, rendered in a calligraphic Chinese-inspired script, arcs across the upper portion of the field. |
