| Reverse description | The distinctive Mexico 68 logotype, designed by Lance Wyman, dominates the centre of the field in bold stylised lettering. Above it, a running athlete figure is depicted in the same graphic style with motion lines extending to the left. The date flanked by short rules appears below the logotype, and the five interlocked Olympic rings are struck in relief across the lower portion of the field. |
