> Paris Olympics: How much is a gold medal worth?
奧運會金牌的“含金量”有多少？

Olympic gold medals are not made entirely of gold.
奧運金牌并不是純金的。

Up until the 1912 Stockholm Games, gold medals were made almost entirely of gold. But the amount of gold making up the medals dropped from Antwerp 1920.
在1912年斯德哥爾摩奧運會以前，金牌幾乎是由純金打造的。但自1920年安特衛普奧運會開始，金牌的含金量下降了。

So how much money is an Olympic gold medal worth today?
那么，如今一枚奧運金牌值多少錢呢？

This year at the Paris Olympics, the gold medals consist of 523 grams of silver, coated in 6 grams of gold.
巴黎奧運會金牌由523克銀和6克金組成。

Silver medals weigh 525 grams and are made of pure silver, while bronze medals weigh 455 grams and are made of copper, tin and zinc.
銀牌重525克，由純銀制成。銅牌重455克，由銅、錫和鋅制成。

This year’s Olympic medals will depart slightly from their historical tradition, with the Paris Olympic medals including an iron piece from the Eiffel Tower, on top of their usual composition.
這屆奧運會獎牌與以往有些許不同，除了常規的金屬外，巴黎奧運會獎牌還包括一塊來自埃菲爾鐵塔的鐵片。

Excluding the value of the Eiffel Tower iron piece placed in the centre of each Olympic medal, Oxford Economics estimates that the value of each gold medal during these Olympic Games is US$1,027, while silver and bronze medals are worth US$535 and US$4.6, respectively.
據牛津經濟研究院估計，不包括鑲嵌在每枚奧運獎牌中心的埃菲爾鐵塔原鐵的價值，巴黎奧運會每枚金牌的價值為1027美元（約合人民幣7410元），而銀牌和銅牌分別價值535美元（約合人民幣3860元）和4.6美元（約合人民幣33元）。
