Two participation medals from the collection IOC member Phillip W. Coles:
Participation medal issued for the Athens 2004 Summer Olympics. Bronze, 50 mm, 62 gm, minted by Efsimon. The front features Greek lettering and waves of the Aegean sea on either side of the Athens Games emblem; the reverse bears raised text between a similar design as the front, “Games of the XXVIII Olympiad, 13-29 August 2004.”
Volunteer participation medal issued for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. Silver, 40 mm, 89 gm. The front depicts a unique sea-to-sky landscape design and the Olympic rings; the reverse bears the Winter Games emblem, graphics inspired by Canada’s natural and cultural diversity, and a raised motto, “With glowing hearts / des plus brillants exploits.” Complete with original case. Smaller than the athlete’s participation medals, these were distributed to volunteers.
