Wrestling 1/3 oz. Gold Coin

Chinese ancient wrestling, which derives from the Dunhuang mural of "Prince Sumo Wrestling" found in northwest China's Gansu Province. The mural was crafted over 1,500 years ago. The design depicts a vivid scene of two wrestlers fighting forcefully with each other, interlocked in a state of stalemate. The lower left part of the coin features the pictogram of wrestling designed specifically for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad. Watch the official series III video!
