THE XVII COMMONWEALTH GAMES
MANCHESTER 2002
Description:
The reverse depicts a powerful image of a group of victorious athletes standing above a laurel wreath with arms raised in triumph forming a stylized crown. The design draws inspiration from the official Manchester Games logo in gold (an image of three figures standing on a podium with their arms uplifted in the jubilation of winning or in celebration, which represents the three core themes of the Games: sport, culture and friendship and the types of medalist in the games: gold, silver and bronze. The figures are captured in three colors which are red, blue and green). Surrounding this depiction is the wording: "The XVII Commonwealth Games Manchester 2000" appear on the inner ring in silver while a succession of running figures circle the outer ring in copper.
