2024 Olympics, how much are gold medals really worth?

The Olympic Games are the pinnacle of success and reward for any athlete, especially if participation is combined with a gold medal. However, beyond moral satisfaction and recognition, the value of the gold medal is of great interest.

The gold medals won by the athletes of the Olympic Games are not actually pure gold, despite their color.

An Olympic gold medal is made of 92.2% silver. The gold it has is only 6 grams. Unlike silver and bronze, which are both completely solid in their respective metals.

But how much does the gold medal cost?

The cost of a gold medal at the last Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2020 amounted to about 640 euros. Silver had a price of around 350 euros, while bronze only 7 euros. According to NBC Sports, there is variation in the price of the gold medal, as it can reach up to 775 euros.

The medals at this year's Paris Olympics are not only inspired by the Eiffel Tower, but each one features an authentic piece of the iconic 19th-century landmark.

Each Olympian will receive an authentic piece of iron from the Eiffel Tower placed at the heart of their medal. Each of the 5,084 medals to be awarded at the world's premier event bears an iron hexagon from the Eiffel Tower, while the "Paris 2024" logo dominates.

The figures of Athena, the Goddess of Victory, the Panathenaic Stadium and the Acropolis are engraved on the right side, as required by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), but “Paris 2024” received special permission to be reproduced on the medal and the Eiffel Tower. At the same time, the discipline for which the medal is awarded is written on the "edge" of the medal.
