> Paris Olympics: How much is a gold medal worth?
奥运会金牌的“含金量”有多少？

Olympic gold medals are not made entirely of gold.
奥运金牌并不是纯金的。

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年斯德哥尔摩奥运会以前，金牌几乎是由纯金打造的。但自1920年安特卫普奥运会开始，金牌的含金量下降了。

So how much money is an Olympic gold medal worth today?
那么，如今一枚奥运金牌值多少钱呢？

This year at the Paris Olympics, the gold medals consist of 523 grams of silver, coated in 6 grams of gold.
巴黎奥运会金牌由523克银和6克金组成。

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.
银牌重525克，由纯银制成。铜牌重455克，由铜、锡和锌制成。

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.
这届奥运会奖牌与以往有些许不同，除了常规的金属外，巴黎奥运会奖牌还包括一块来自埃菲尔铁塔的铁片。

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.
据牛津经济研究院估计，不包括镶嵌在每枚奥运奖牌中心的埃菲尔铁塔原铁的价值，巴黎奥运会每枚金牌的价值为1027美元（约合人民币7410元），而银牌和铜牌分别价值535美元（约合人民币3860元）和4.6美元（约合人民币33元）。
