The coaches’ medals, which are based upon similar themes to the athlete medals but differ in design, will be provided to successful athletes following their ceremony. 

They will then be able to gift to their coach or significant advisor.

The athlete medals for the World Para Athletics Championships were revealed back in May and are inspired by the notion of "What makes an athlete tick?".

The possibility of creating a coaching medal was investigated by UK Athletics, who form the Local Organising  Committee for the World Para Athletics Championships.

"As a coach your focus is on getting your athlete in the best place possible to be able to win medals at major championships," Paul MacGregor, coach to Paralympic 100 metres and 400m T37 champion Georgina Hermitage of Great Britain, said.

"That moment on the podium is rightly theirs but it certainly is nice for athletes to have the opportunity to reward someone who has helped them get to that point.

"It is not something that has been put forward before and so it is going to be another thing that makes the World Para Athletics Championships London 2017 so memorable."

It was confirmed in April that coaches will receive medals for the first time at this year's International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) World Championships, which like the World Para Athletics Championships are scheduled to take place at the London Olympic Stadium.

The World Para Athletics Championships are due to be held from July 14 and 23, while the IAAF World Championships are set to run from August 4 to 13.

London 2017 marks the first time both Championships have been held in the same city with over 3,000 athletes from over 200 nations competing over 20 days of action.

"I think London 2017 deserve great credit for introducing coaches medals for the first time to the World Para Athletics Championships," Sir Philip Craven, President of the International Paralympic Committee, said.

"Coaches are the unsung heroes behind the scenes and it is fantastic that they will be rewarded for their efforts in coaching medal winning athletes."

After announcing record-breaking sales of 230,000 tickets for the World Para Athletics Championships, organisers are urging the public to show their support for the athletes through #FillTheStadium.  

"As organisers it was important that we made provision for coaches medals for the World Para Athletics Championships," Championship Director Niels de Vos said.

"Our #FillTheStadium campaign is encouraging as many supporters to attend and this is another milestone moment for the event and something we are proud to announce with exactly one week to go to the Championships.

"Athletes deserve their time on the podium but coaches play such a vital role in getting them to that point, so we are pleased to be able to support the athlete to share that success."
