The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games Medals

The London 2012 Olympic Games medal design is by renowned jeweller David Watkins, who was for many years Professor of Goldsmithing, Silversmithing, Metalwork and Jewellery at London’s Royal College of Art.
The London 2012 Paralympic Games medal was created by Lin Cheung, a jeweller and practising artist. She is also a Senior Lecturer for Jewellery Design at London’s Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design.
Metals for the medals were mined and processed at Rio Tinto’s operations – Kennecott Utah in the United States and Oyu Tolgoi in Mongolia – and the medals themselves struck at the Royal Mint in Wales.
