A penultimate batch of commemorative Olympic coins will be released this week, Rio 2016 organisers said.
The silver collection will on one side include portrayals of Rio de Janeiro's iconic rowing, athletics, cycling and beach volleyball venues. The other side will depict a monkey, an orchid, the sambadrome and an image of local dance forro, reports Xinhua.
The gold coin will feature a Christ the Redeemer statue on one side and wrestling on the other.
It is the third batch of the series and coincides with the Games' one-year-to-go milestone on Wednesday.
