The prize medal for the upcoming Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games was unveiled on Wednesday, showcasing a unique design inspired by the city’s landmarks and coat of arms. This medal, a first in the history of the Games, incorporates braille and tactile elements to promote inclusivity as a tangible experience.
