Olympic Medals Value Soars on Precious Metals Surge: GOLD MEDALS @ $2,300, SILVER @ $1,400

February 5, 2026 – The Winter Olympics in Italy will award the most expensive medals in Games history, as gold and silver prices have risen 107% and 200% since the Paris 2024 Olympics, per FactSet. Based on current spot prices, gold medals are worth about $2,300 (double their 2024 value), silver around $1,400 (three times), and bronze roughly $5.60. The surge follows central bank purchases and geopolitical uncertainty. Olympic medals use alloys: gold medals contain about 6g of pure gold in 506g; bronze is copper. Collectible values have soared—Baldwin’s sold a 1912 gold medal for £19,000 and a 1920 bronze for £640. Analyst Ole Hansen at Saxo Bank notes continued demand for gold and silver likely to drive prices higher through 2028.
