| Reverse description | The brass centre depicts a dynamic figure of a pole vaulter in mid-flight, arching over the bar with pole engaged, rendered in bold sculptural relief against a striated background suggesting vertical poles or stadium elements. The circular emblem of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, featuring the flame motif and inscription 'BEIJING 2008', appears to the right within the field. The legend 'POLE VAULT' arcs along the upper border of the brass centre, while the date '2008' is inscribed in the lower exergue. The outer aluminium ring is decorated with multiple small athletic figures representing various Olympic sports disciplines in relief. |
