| Obverse description | A tall Native American totem pole in high relief stands prominently in the foreground before a classical Greek temple facade with multiple columns, symbolising the link between the Olympic heritage and the host nation's indigenous culture. Radiating lines extend from the base of the totem toward the viewer. The curved legend arcs around the upper rim of the field. |
