# 600 - 1976 Olympic Coins - Part 20

in #steemleo5 years ago

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 twentieth coin is a $5 CAD designed by Elliot John Morrison, winner of an invitational competition, and its name is "Olympic Flame".

It shows an simplified design of the Olympic Flame.
Its issue price was $8.00 CAD.

The obverse shows the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, designed by Arnold Machin.

The Olympic flame is so classic and iconic of the Olympics. As a child I always wondered if the flame 🔥 was eternal and was amazed in my imagination how the flame traveled from one country to another!
I am curious to find out about the depiction of Elizabeth on coin obverses after this design of young Elizabeth. I don’t think I’ve seen one, or perhaps I wasn’t looking. Thanks for sharing this collection @ronaldoavelino! Have a beautiful Sunday🌺🤙
