# 588 - 1976 Olympic Coins - Part 12
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 V has the theme "Summer Sports".
The twelfth coin is a 1975 $5 CAD designed by Linda Cooper, winner of an invitational competition, and its name is "Swimming".
The reverse design was photochemically etched.
It shows an stilized design of the movements of an athlete swimming in a wavy pool.
Its issue price was $8.00 CAD.
The obverse shows the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, designed by Arnold Machin.

Is that a 1975 or 1976 coin. Sometimes mints release a coin a calendar year earlier, just like the Perth Mint with the Lunar coins.
