The Brazilian Olympics will have the heavier medal in history, 500g (In London the heavier was 400g): Gold Medal: 494g of silver (purity: 92,5%), and 6g of gold (purity: 99,9%) Silver Medal: 500g of silver Bronze Medal: 475g of copper (97%), 25g of zinc (3%)
In London the gold medal had 1,34% gold, 92,5% silver and the rest of copper.
More than 30% of the silver and the bronze are recycled. The ribbons are made of almost 50% recycled plastic. The paralympic medals, for the first time, will have guizos and braille writings. It was produced 5.130 medals, 2.488 olympic and 2.642 paralympic. They are fairly bulged with a thicker centre. In the edges it's written the modality.
The art of the olympic medals brings the goddess of victory, Nike, and the Panathinaikos from Greece. In the verse there's a laurel wreath and the Rio 2016's logo. In the Paralympic there's the paralympic's logo and the on one side and the braille inscription on the other.
For the first time in history each medalist will receive also a sculpture. [Fun fact: Did you know that Brazil has two official languages? Portuguese and Libras.]

Xavier Wood

Easton Powell

at least they use silver as the alloy but it's basically a silver medal dipped in gold
Jace Williams
>Wew, it's not like any of us gave a fuck about what the medals are made of

Gold is never coined pure, that's a too soft metal and would knead, if you have any gold jewelry it's rarely pure.

just the smallest ones (R$1,00), for the big ones it's prohibited to use as actual currency. the big ones though really do have gold and silver in their composition.
p.s.: for anyone knowing someone who's going to Rio, don't hesitate to ask them to bring you a bunch of it - collectors in your country will really appreciates that
Wait, all you have to say is that Rio is shit? It's not like this is big news or anything. >jej

To the people that think that wood case looks like a piece of junk from the 1970s that you'd buy for 50 cents at the thrift store...the purpose of it is just to hold and protect your Olympic Medal for your plane flight home. >As for me, I'd frame my Olympic Medal something like this, but using a much more high quality frame, matte and backdrop
