The medals of the Olympic Games are probably the most valuable personal
awards athletes can get. Therefore I do not support the trading of
winner medals. You will not find them in my collection. However I report
them as point of reference which demonstrates the development of
Olympic design throughout history. Interesting to note is that the face
of the medals of the summer Olympic Games between Amsterdam 1928 and
Sydney 2000 thematically never changed. For Athens 2004 a new face
concept has been adopted and used since. The design of the medals of the
Winter Games was always free of restrictions and therefore much more
individual.
