  • Lighting the Olympic Flame

Description: To symbolize the link between the ancient and modern Olympic Games, each Olympic year officials rekindle the flame from the rays of the sun in Olympia, Greece, the site of the original Olympic Games. A relay of runners then carries the flame to the site of the new games; the lighting of the Olympic cauldron has become the most hallowed moment of the Olympics The coin proptrays a scene of the Olympic Flame lighting ceremony, held on the site of Ancient Olympia, with the high priestess handing the Olympic Torch to the first runner of the torch relay and the words "Olympic Flame Lighting".

Common side: The modern Olympic Games is an international sports competition, held every four years at a different site. There are two types of Olympics, the Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympics. The modern Olympic Games began in Athens, Greece, in 1896, and the program for the Games included only summer events (the Winter Olympics were not established until 1924), in which about 300 athletes from fewer than 15 countries participated. The common side of the coin displays the denomination (500 drachmas), the sign of the Olympic Games (the five rings), the Athens 2004 Olympic Games logo (an Olive Wreath within a square) and in a semi-circle the inscription "Hellenic Republic".
