The actual price of the Olympic Summer Games gold medal-2012 is 706 dollars.
Gold medals that will serve this summer in London, considered the largest and most severe in the history of the Olympic Games. Weighing in at 400 grams, they are 17 times more than the medals that were awarded in Stockholm in 1912.
Gold in the Olympic gold medal in 2012, almost no smell, but it's still worth more than all predecessors
On the other hand, 1912 was the last year when the Olympic medals were made of pure gold. Today they are mostly made of silver covered with a thin layer of gold (about 6 grams).
London gold medal is gold by only 1.5%, and its actual price is 706 dollars. Despite this, according to the estimates of the magazine The Economist, this is the most expensive (considering the relative values of gold at a certain time and inflation) medal in the history of the Olympics. For the first time the silver in the gold medal is worth more than gold itself in its composition.
