| Reverse description | Central colorized medallion depicting two hammer throwers in dynamic rotational poses: a modern athlete dressed in red and orange athletic wear juxtaposed with a classical ancient Greek discus thrower rendered in bronze tones, both swinging a hammer-and-chain against a blue background overlaid with silhouettes of running figures. Flanking the central scene are two raised silver architectural landmarks: the Parthenon of Athens to the left and the Temple of Heaven of Beijing to the right, each labeled with the respective city name. Olive wreaths frame the lower portion of the design, and the arc legend FROM GREECE TO CHINA appears at the top, with the dates 2004 TO 2008 inscribed at the base, commemorating the transition from the Athens to the Beijing Olympic Games. |
