Since the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, the Royal Canadian Mint has struck Summer and Winter Olympic coins to mark Games held in Canada.
1976 Montreal Summer Games [edit ]
Most numismatists agree that the first true numismatic collection was the Olympic Five and Ten Dollar coins for the 1976 Montreal Olympics [ citation needed ]. Starting in February 1973, the Royal Canadian Mint ( RCM ) engaged in a very ambitious program. At the behest of the union government, led by then-Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, it was agreed that these coins would help finance and commemorate the 1976 Summer Olympics. The design was to have thirty coins, twenty-eight flatware coins with confront values of $ 5 and $ 10, and two gold coins. This would signify the beginning time that the RCM issued coins with face values of $ 5 and $ 10. These coins would be categorized into seven series with each series configured into four coin sets ( two five dollar coins and two ten dollar coins ). [ 1 ] The seven series were constituted as follows :
- Geographic
- Olympic Motifs
- Early Canadian Sports
- Olympic Track and Field Sports
- Olympic Water Sports
- Olympic Team and Body Contact Sports
- Olympic Souvenirs
The $ 10 denomination coins have a megascopic weight of 48.600 grams while the $ 5 denomination coins have a crying weight of 24.300 grams. Each coin is 92.5 % ash grey for a net silver burden of 44.955 grams ( 1.4453 troy ounces ) and 22.478 grams ( 0.7227 troy ounces ) of silver medal respectively. [ 2 ] A identify highlight of these coins were the exchangeable designs and the alone finishes. All 28 coins were styled in a like fashion. The top aspect of the coin had the Olympic logo, its denomination, and the give voice in the lapp topographic point. [ 3 ] The finishes consisted of two different styles that had never been used on canadian coinage. The first eat up was a satin or frosted effect which adorned the mint. The second finish was a proof finish, which consisted of frosted inscription and a plan set off against a brilliant mirror field. The RCM had to obtain extra equipment to achieve the coveted end. [ 1 ] A very limited number of the $ 5 and $ 10 coins were initially sold by the bank in styrofoam pack and the coins were NOT encapsulated. The coins could be purchased loose, and individually

1988 Calgary Winter Games [edit ]
Heading into the 1980s, the Olympics would return to Canada. The city of Calgary would host the 1988 Winter Olympics. Starting in 1985, the Federal Government, under the leadership of then-Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, issued a ten coin set to help finance and commemorate the Olympic games. In exchangeable style to the Montreal Olympics, the RCM would introduce coins with a face respect that had never been used before. Said coins would feature a $ 20 face value. These coins were issued in Proof quality alone, and were sold with the partnership of the Royal Bank of Canada. Unlike the Montreal coins, coinage was limited to 5,000,000 coins and this would mark the first time that any silver coin had edge lettering on it. Said letter was ‘XV OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES – JEUX D’OLYMPIQUES D’HIVER. ‘ [ 4 ] There are existing varieties that have missed the edge lettering procedure. [ 5 ] The 10 coins were besides available in a green feel case with an Olympic logo on the outside and a Royal canadian Mint medallion on the inside. The cost was $ 370. The decoration could be removed and the gold mint, offered individually, could be placed into its place. The count and sign Certificate of Authenticity was included in the cases home top recess. The integral case was fit into a white cardboard sleeve with the Olympic logo on the outside .

Olympic Centennial [edit ]
The International Olympic Committee decided to commemorate the Centennial of the Olympic Games by issuing a coin set. This was a collaborative attempt with five Mints contributing coins. The first three coins were issued by the RCM in 1992. The other Mints included Austria, Australia, France, and Greece. Two of the coins were silver with a boldness value of $ 15 while the third coin was gold and had a face respect of $ 175. The $ 15 coins were sold individually or in a determined. The person coins were packaged in a burgundy leatherette character while the determined was featured in a wooden display font. Both $ 15 coins featured lettering on its edge : CITIUS, ALTIUS, FORTIUS. [ 6 ] The $ 175 mint featured a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Juan Antonio Samaranch. The inscription on its edge was the like as the inscription found on the silver coins. There are a few very rare examples of these coins with a plain edge ( no edge lettering ). These plain edge coins were once held by the investment firm creditworthy for the $ 50 million Ohio Coingate Scandal .

All of these coins were besides made available at avail stations, encapsulated on a credit batting order -sized batting order. many pressings of the Alpine Skiing mint released to service stations and to especial 2010 Winter Olympic “ coin boards ” in October 2007 were the victim of a bid error called a mule, with a 2008 obverse unintentionally minted rather than the expect 2007. According to the Royal Canadian Mint, “ sports cards ” and 10,000 “ coin board ” sets were released with the error before it was caught. [ notice : the 2007 Alpine Skiing discolor quarters were later struck with the correct 2007 die ]. A similar mule occurred with the Wheelchair Curling issue, with an obverse featuring the standard Vancouver 2010 logo being used alternatively of the Paralympic logo. Both coins subsequently found demand in the collectors grocery store. [ 12 ] 2009 bobsled mules have besides been found in circulation and colourized card coins .

bullion Coins [edit ]
The Royal Canadian Mint and the International Olympic Committee have reached an agreement on Olympic Gold and Silver Maple Leaf coins. The announcement was made on August 3, 2007 and the agreement allows the RCM to strike bullion coins with the emblems of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games. [ 17 ] The issue will consist of two coins : one Gold Maple Leaf mint and a canadian Silver Maple Leaf mint and both coins will feature the date of 2008. The new agreement means that the RCM is now selling Olympic coins through all of its major occupation lines : bullion, circulation, numismatics. [ 17 ]
2010 Winter Paralympics [edit ]
