| Reverse description | A swimmer in full forward stroke is depicted in dynamic relief at the upper portion of the field, executed in a stylized artistic manner against the blue niobium surface. Beneath the swimmer, an outline map of Europe is shown in low relief, alluding to the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games and the continent's participating nations. The date '2008' appears to the lower left of the central design. The legend 'JEUX OLYMPIQUES 2008' curves along the upper periphery, while 'BEI' is inscribed at the base, referencing Beijing. Decorative scroll-work borders frame the lower portion of the design. |
