How many sizes do medals usually have?

General medal sizes are 18X2 1mm, 25X30mm, 35X40mm, 35X50mm, 40X60mm, etc.

There is basically no fixed size of the trophy according to its shape, depending on which trophy it is. The trophy sizes of different manufacturers are slightly different, which are roughly as follows: the small trophy is about 18 cm high, the medium trophy is about 24 cm high, the large trophy is about 28 cm high, and the extra-large cup is about 34 cm high.

Extended data:

Olympic Games, Asian Games and individual world championships all award gold, silver and bronze medals to winners. However, a long time ago, the winner of a sports competition won an award, but it was a circle woven with cinnamon branches of olive trees, that is, "laurel corolla". 1465, at an entertainment in Zurich, Switzerland, a gold medal was awarded to the champion of triple jump. This may be the first time that the winner has not been awarded the "laurel". 1895 The first Olympic champion won such a "laurel".

It was not until 1907 that the IOC made a formal resolution at the Executive Committee meeting held in The Hague, the Netherlands, to award gold, silver and bronze medals to Olympic champions, which were implemented at the 4th London Olympic Games.

Since 1924 the 8th Paris Olympic Games, the IOC has made the following supplementary decisions: winners will receive medals and certificates (certificates).

The decision made specific provisions on the design and production of gold, silver and bronze medals: the diameter of the first, second and third prize medals is not less than 60mm, and the thickness is 3mm. The materials of the first prize (gold medal) and the second prize (silver medal) are silver, and the purity (silver content) is not less than 92.5%. The surface of the first prize medal (gold medal) is plated with at least 6g of pure gold. These rules have been used since 1928 the 9th Amsterdam Olympic Games.
