The Barcelona 1992 Olympic Official Commemorative Medals Set is a numismatic collection composed of 16 medals, commemorating the 1992 Summer Olympics that held in Barcelona. They share a common reverse designed by Josep Maria Trias (the logo designer) with the logo of the games, and 16 different patterns on the obverse. The number 16 was chosen because the Games lasted sixteen days.
On 9 December 1988, the CEO of the Barcelona Olympic Games Barcelona'92 Josep Miquel Abad, and the manager of the company Argentfí SA (a Barcelona-based Company that ceased trading in 2001) Josefa Martínez Ortega, signed a contract under which the COOB'92 (Organizing Committee of Olympic Games Barcelona '92) granted the concession to that company for the manufacture, transmission and marketing of the series of official commemorative medals of the Games of XXV Summer Olympics.
