| Reverse description | A front-facing draped bust portrait of Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Games, occupies the central field, rendered in low relief with a characteristic moustache and formal attire. A horizontal band of classical Greek meander (key) ornament frames the portrait on either side, evoking the Hellenic origins of the Olympic movement. The dates '1896' and '2004' flank the Cyrillic inscription 'АТИНА' (Athens) in a curved legend across the upper field, commemorating the first and the centenary modern Olympic Games held in Athens. |
