gold medallions

First-place neck pendants

Gold medallions are large, coin-shaped pieces of gold, often decorative and worn as jewelry—typically on thick chains around the neck.

The style evokes wealth, status, and a certain flashiness: He wore his shirt unbuttoned to show off his gold medallions.

The term also applies to gold coins minted for collectors or investors, valued by weight and purity.
