At the Paris 2024 Olympics, athletes are competing for what is claimed to be the most valuable gold medal in Olympic history, valued at US$950 (RM4,250). Despite their appearance, these medals are composed of 95.4% silver with a thin gold coating, leading to concerns about their quality. Notably, American skateboarder Nyjah Huston, who won his first Olympic medal, a bronze, expressed disappointment when his medal began to show signs of wear shortly after receiving it. He criticised the quality on social media, urging improvements to the durability of future Olympic medals.




Before you say Made in China, A French luxury jewellery firm based in Paris designed the medals and 5,084 of them were produced by France's mint, the Monnaie de Paris.

That's what bronze looks like after oxidization la.

Instead of giving solid gold medal, now they give prize money so the athletes don't need to sell the medal if need money.
