| Reverse description | Central coloured field depicts two athletes in dynamic motion against a vivid blue background bearing repeated renderings of the word ΟΛΥΜΠΙΑ in Greek lettering; a modern runner in a red athletic suit strides forward in the foreground while a dark bronze-toned classical discus thrower is shown in full release behind him, juxtaposing ancient and contemporary Olympic sport. Flanking the central medallion are relief depictions of the Parthenon inscribed ATHENS to the left and the Temple of Heaven inscribed BEIJING to the right, each framed by an olive branch spray. The arc legend FROM GREECE TO CHINA runs along the upper border, while the dates 2004 TO 2008 appear in relief at the base. |
