# 608 - 1976 Olympic Coins - Part 24
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-forth coin is a $5 CAD designed by Georges Huel, who worked by invitation, and its name is "Kingston and Sailboats".
It shows a simplified design of the Portsmouth Olympic Harbour, Kingston, Ontario, where the sailing competition was held.
Its issue price was $6.00 CAD.
The obverse shows the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, designed by Arnold Machin.

I visited Vancouver some years back. Seated by the market steps over-looking the water were numerous sailboats. The reverse of this coin reminds me of that. I like the simple designs of this series. Have a great week, my friend @ronaldoavelino, and take care 🤗😍🌺🤙
Thank you.
Live long and prosper.
I love the finish on Elizabeth, is this sheen a reflection or is this the true look of the coin? Gorgeous!👍😊
It is the true look of the coin. Gorgeous! Cheers.
