The 2026 Olympic gold medal is mostly silver 🤯🏅
Milano Cortina’s gold medal is 500 grams of silver with about 6 grams of pure gold on top. At today’s metal prices, the raw materials come to roughly $2,500.
If it were solid gold at the same weight, it would be worth about $82,550, and the last time that happened was 1912.
Gold is the signal of first place, and the meaning will always outrun the melt value.
