A su derecha en la distancia se divisa en la altura la enorme estatua del Cristo Redentor, santo patrón de los Brasileiros, como si nos trajese bendiciones y motivase nuestra victoria. De igual manera, vemos sobre Mónica a nuestra estrella brillando sobre ella. A su izquierda vemos el símbolo oficial de los juegos, que consiste de 3 personas enlazadas en círculo como si bailando juntas tomadas de la mano. Leemos "MONICA PUIG", "ORGULLO DE PUERTO RICO". Todo el relieve se halla a su vez rodeado de un borde pintado en esmalte en los ya bien llamativos y conocidos colores tropicales oficiales de las Olimpiadas Mundiales de Verano en Río de Janeiro 2016, que nos recuerdan los grandes atractivos turísticos que representan las aguas, el cielo, el verdor de la vegetación, el sol, y los bellos atardeceres de la principal metrópolis Brasileira.REVERSO:Al centro aparece una sencilla foto de la tenista Boricua pegándole a la bola de tenis con su raqueta, instante que sin embargo ahora nos representa una de las principales fotos que dieron la vuelta al mundo del Tennis Profesional, en momentos antes de la victoria final que asegurase el primer oro olímpico para mi Borinquen bella, un momento inolvidable. Sobre la imagen se yergue una furtiva bandera estilizada como si tuviese vida propia, sobre la cual dice Boricua: Este reverso de la medalla debe entonces leerse: "CAMPEONA MUNDIAL BORICUA", "! GRACIAS !". Finalmente, la foto es rodeada por una guirnalda de la Flor de Maga, nuestro curioso árbol de hibisco nacional, en cuyo centro se muestran los aros olímpicos. Como dato curioso que usted podrá corroborar, todos los detalles en dorados al reverso son bello y brillantísimo oro en alto relieve, que se notan aún mucho mas por la oscura condicion del verde monte de superficie, lo que crea un contraste de tonalidades brutal, y por si fuera poco, la imagen de Mónica jugando y la imagen de la bandera estilizada están levantados del resto de la superficie, lo que proporciona una tridimencionalidad fantástica a la pieza, la primera de este tipo en la medallística Puertorriqueña. HOWDY Here is an auction for one (1) 40mm - 1.5 inches - Morgan Dollar sized Gold plated Colorized limited edition medal, consisting of 100 serial numbered Proof Like pieces, with reeded edges, commemorating the great Olympic victory by world class Tennis player Monica Puig Marchal, at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympic games, which secured Puerto Ricans their first Olympic Gold Medal ever, much to the rejoice of all her fellow Islanders. Each medal is sent inside plastic capsule to protect it against scratches while being shipped.OBVERSE: It's obverse features a very flamboyant Monica very eagerly showing us her hard won Olympic Gold medal, while wearing the Puerto Rico Sports Committee uniform. At her right we can see at a distance the huge statue of Christ the Redeemer, Saint Patron of the Rio de Janeiro parishioners, which seems to be blessing down on Monica for her historical accomplishment. At the top of her head we see the symbolism of the lone star in the Puerto Rico flag, brilliant as in jubilation to the accomplishment by the young tennis player. To her left we see the Rio Olympics symbol, which is made of 3 persons holding hands with each other while dancing round and round. Around the upper side of the medal we read: "MONICA PUIG", "THE PRIDE OF PUERTO RICO". And around all the obverse art we see a circle with a mosaic of colors, all representing the main colors of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, which represent the beauty of the nature surrounding Rio, from the seas and bodies of water, the clean blue skies, the sunny heat, the orange sunsets, and all shades of green you can think of from the vegetation surrounding this coastal city. REVERSE: It's reverse pays homage to Monica playing the sport of tennis, hitting a ball, in itself something simple, but with this accomplishment now something of total significance, because this photo printed over the surface of the medal captures a few seconds before the final victory that lead to the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico earning its very first Olympic Gold medal. Surrounding this photo are a series of details in Gold, all of which are not printed but actual tridimensional details that elevate from the surface in a tridimensional way, and gleam exuberantly thanks in part due to the special effect done by the gleaming of real brilliant gold plating over the dull and dark green background of the photo, which in itself seems to be on the move, thanks in part due to the fact, noticeable when looking at the medal from up close, that the photo and the flag on top of the player are both a higher raised surface than the rest of the medal. This in turn causes the printed photo to look as if in a tridimensional way or as if moving. Surrounding the image of the tennis player we have a semicircular wreath of Maga flower, the Puerto Rican national Hibiscus, which in itself, though it looks as an hibiscus, it is actually a tree, whose flowers look like oversized red hibiscus. Right at the center of this wreath we find the Olympic rings over which there is the word "Thank you". On top of Monica we find a stylized Puerto Rican flag that says "Boricua" (the way native Taino Indians used to call PR in pre Columbian times). The reverse, thus should read: "Campeona Mundial Boricua, Gracias" Translated to: " PUERTO RICAN WORLD (Olympic) CHAMPION, THANK YOU!BIOGRAPHY: ( from Wikipedia) Monica Puig Marchán (born September 27, 1993) is a Puerto Rican professional tennis player and Olympic gold medal winner.
