# 606 - 1976 Olympic Coins - Part 23
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 I has the theme "Geographic".
The twenty-third coin is a $10 CAD designed by Georges Huel, who worked by invitation, and its name is "Montreal Skyline".
It shows a simplified design of the Montreal skyline.
Its issue price was $12.00 CAD.
The scratches are on this side of the capsule, not on the coin.
The obverse shows the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, designed by Arnold Machin.

I like the simple design of this series, @ronaldoavelino! And did I tell you already that I like the depiction of the young Elizabeth on the coins you have shown? Have a great day, my friend. Take care. 😘😍❤️🌺🤙
You told me on the first post about this series. I like the young portrait of Elisabeth II too.
A very good weekend, my friend!

No problem, my friend.
I never knew that they were funding the Olympic Games this way, very interesting!
Picking up Silver this was, it adds interest to collecting.
During the last big Silver price run up everyone was selling interesting Silver.
That’s the way I was able to add special interestingly Silver to my stack.
Enjoy the weekend @ronaldoavelino !😊
Thank you for your comment. You are very welcome! Cheers.
