Yes, but it's not solid gold. Have you seen when it is turned around? You can see what looks to be a ring of plastic or some material in it, so no, it's not solid gold. Traditionally, you see athletes bite the medal as a "check" to be sure of it's authenticity.

It was made in China so it has some lead in it.

The Olympic Charter's guidelines

says it has to be, at least, six

grams of gold in it.

My Aunt's gold medals weren't real gold, but that was way, way back when. I think nowadays they've been made real gold.

Much luck.

The Gold Medal must have at least 6 grams of pure Gold and Silver medals are required to be 92.5% silver. Bronze Medals have a mix of copper, zinc, tin and some silver.

The Beijing Olympic Medals are inlaid with jade.
