The '''Pierre de Coubertin Medal''' is a special [[Civil awards and decorations|decoration]] awarded by the [[International Olympic Committee]] that "pays tribute to institutions with a pedagogical and educational role and to people who, through their research and the creation of intellectual works in the spirit of [[Pierre de Coubertin]], contribute to the promotion of Olympism."<ref name="IOC106">{{Citation |date=3–6 September 1997 |title=106th IOC Session Meeting Minutes |publisher=[[International Olympic Committee]] |publication-place=[[Lausanne]] |page=68}}</ref> It was designed by [[André Ricard Sala]], with one face featuring a portrait of Coubertin and the other showing the Olympic motto and rings.<ref name="IOC106" />
