Monaco Marathon

A gleaming gold medal for the Monaco Marathon, circular and 3 inches in diameter, hangs from a red and white striped ribbon matching Monaco's flag colors. The medal features a raised relief of Monaco's iconic Casino Monte-Carlo on the front, surrounded by a laurel wreath. The year and "Monaco Marathon" are engraved along the edge. On the reverse, an embossed silhouette of a runner against Monaco's coastline. A small Monégasque coat of arms is etched in the corner. The medal reflects warm sunlight, casting a golden glow. It's photographed at a slight angle, suspended against a blurred background of Monaco's harbor with luxury yachts. The ribbon drapes elegantly, its texture visible. The medal's polished surface shows subtle reflections of the Mediterranean atmosphere. Depth of field focuses on the intricate details of the engravings and embossing, while the edges fade slightly out of focus, creating a sense of dimension and prestige.
