The 1900 Olympics is unique in being the only Olympic Games to feature rectangular medals, which were designed by {{sortname|Frédérique|Vernon}}.<ref>{{cite web |title=Paris 1900 The Medals |url=https://olympics.com/en/olympic-games/paris-1900/medal-design |website=International Olympic Committee |access-date=12 August 2021}}</ref> [[gilt-silver|Gilt silver]] medals were awarded for 1st place in shooting, lifesaving, automobile racing and gymnastics.<ref name="Olympic Medals: a reference guide">{{cite book |last1=Greensfelder |first1=Jim |last2=Vorontsov |first2=Oleg |last3=Lally |first3=Jim |title=Olympic Medals: a reference guide |date=1998 |publisher=GVL Enterprises |pages=9–10}}</ref><ref name=IOCFactsheetMedals>{{cite web |title=Olympic Summer Games Medals from Athens 1896 to Tokyo 2020 |url=https://stillmed.olympic.org/media/Document%20Library/OlympicOrg/Factsheets-Reference-Documents/Games/Records-and-Medals/Reference-document-OG-Medals.pdf |website=Olympic Studies Centre |access-date=13 August 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200903041318/https://stillmed.olympic.org/media/Document%20Library/OlympicOrg/Factsheets-Reference-Documents/Games/Records-and-Medals/Reference-document-OG-Medals.pdf |archive-date=3 September 2020 |url-status=live }}</ref> Whilst 2nd place [[silver]] medals were awarded in shooting, rowing, yachting, tennis, gymnastics, sabre, fencing, equestrian and athletics.<ref name="Olympic Medals: a reference guide"/> With 3rd place [[bronze]] medals being awarded in gymnastics, firefighting and shooting.<ref name=IOCFactsheetMedals /><ref name="Olympic Medals: a reference guide"/> In many sports, however, medals were not awarded. With most of the listed prizes were cups and other similar trophies.<ref name="Mallon"/>{{rp|9}} The [[International Olympic Committee]] has retrospectively assigned gold, silver and bronze medals to all competitors who earned 1st, 2nd and 3rd-place finishes, respectively, in order to bring early Olympics in line with current awards.<ref name="Mallon"/>

For the first Olympic Games (until Antwerp in 1920), it is difficult to give the exact number of medals awarded to some countries, due to the fact that teams were composed of athletes from different countries. For Olympic Games before 1908 there is no universally accepted definition of nationality, and medal tables may vary depending on the chosen definition. For example, Australian [[Stanley Rowley]] competed as part of a team selected by the [[Amateur Athletic Association]] of England. The concept of "national teams" chosen by [[National Olympic Committee]]s did not exist at this point in time.

These are the top ten nations that won medals at the 1900 Games.<ref name=IOC1900MedalTable>{{cite web|title=Paris 1900 - Medal Table|url=https://olympics.com/en/olympic-games/olympic-results|website=Olympics.com|publisher=International Olympic Committee}} Select "Paris 1900", select "Go to medal table" to arrive at ''"Paris 1900 Medal Table"''</ref><ref name="Mallon"/>
