| Reverse description | At center, a large Olympic torch in bold relief rises from a cup bearing the 'COB' acronym; the flames sweep dramatically to the right, culminating in a dove in flight at the apex, symbolizing peace. The curved legend 'XXIII JOGOS OLÍMPICOS' arcs around the lower and left portions of the field, with the engraver's signature 'Nelson' visible to the right of the torch. |
