# 596 - 1976 Olympic Coins - Part 17
In 1976 Montreal, Quebec, hosted the XXI Summer Olympiad.
To commemorate and help finance Canada's first Olympics, the federal government agreed to produce a series of 28 silver and 2 gold coins.
There are seven series of silver coins. Each series has two $5 CAD and two $10 CAD, making a total of 14 coins of each denomination. Each series depicts different Olympic themes on the reverse and has a common design (except for the date) on the obverse.
The Olympic coins were offered to the collectors in two finishes, Brilliant Uncirculated and Proof.
I wrote a few articles about the proof coins that I have and now I will show the Brilliant Uncirculated series that I have.
All the coins have a 92,5% silver purity (7,5% copper) and the $5 CAD weights 24.3g and the $10 CAD weights 48.6g.
The series VII has the theme "Olympic Games Souvenir Designs".
The seventeenth coin is a $10 CAD designed by Elliot John Morrison, winner of an invitational competition, and its name is "Olympic Stadium".
It shows a simplified design of the Olympic Stadium.
Its issue price was $15.75 CAD.
The obverse shows the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, designed by Arnold Machin.

After 40 years collecting, it is only natural to have so many coins. Thank you for being here.
I am displaying one of the Brazilian coins I got from you at work. Regularly people ask me how I got it. I’m still happy I won those. Thanks again!

I have been giving these coins since the first Mega Raffle because people always ask for them. They are different and from a far land. I like to give them.
