Reverse description The reverse depicts a symbolic panoramic scene commemorating the handover of the Olympic Games from Beijing to London. To the left, a section of the Great Wall of China is portrayed representing the host city of the 2008 Summer Olympics, while to the right, the iconic silhouette of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament evokes the city of London, host of the 2012 Games.
