Geocache Description:


The International Olympic Committee (IOC) dictates the physical properties of olympic medals and has the final decision about the finished design. Specifications for the medals are developed along with the National Olympic Committee (NOC) hosting the Games, though the IOC has some set rules:

  • Recipients: The top three competitors receive medals
  • Shape: Usually circular, featuring an attachment for a chain or ribbon
  • Diameter: A minimum of 60 mm
  • Thickness: A minimum of 3 mm
  • Material:
    • First place: It is composed of silver of at least .925 grade, plated with 6 grams of gold.
    • Second place: .925 silver.
    • Third place: It is mostly copper with some tin and zinc (worth approximately $3).
  • Event details: The sport for which the medal has been awarded should be written on the medal
