OLYMPIC GAMES


In artist Giuseppe Cassioli with text giving the host city; the reverse showed another generic design of an Olympic champion. From 1972 - 2000 , Cassioli's design (or a slight reworking) remained on the obverse with a custom design by the host city on the reverse. Noting that Cassioli's design showed a Roman amphitheatre for what was originally a Greek games, a new obverse design was commissioned for the Athens 2004 Games. Winter Olympics medals have been of more varied design.
