How do the actual Bronze, Silver and Gold Olympic Medals which were given to the athletes look like?

I remember there was a documentary on Dutch television a while ago about some Dutch athletes ('the last living ones') who went to Berlin 1936 and won some medals. It was very interesting and I think that not long after the shooting they all passed away. (aged 90 - somewhat)

Here is a link which shows what the winner's medal looked like as well as a little bit of information about the medals.
