Coin Set - 1976 - Royal Canadian Mint - Olympic Coin Proof Set - Series IV - Olympic Track and Field Events.

Montreal Olympics 1976.

Specimens of these coins were examined and find to be Proof by the Editorial Board of Coin World Magazine.

This proof set includes 4 coins.

All Olympic coins contain 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper alloy.

The $5 coins are 38 mm in diameter and have a fine silver content of .72 Troy ounces.

The $10 coins are 45 mm in diameter and have a fine silver content of 1.44 Troy ounces.

Issued from 1973 to 1976, these $5 and $10 sterling silver coins were grouped into seven sets of four coins each. These premium proof coins were the top quality available and are packaged in the original Canadian birch and leather boxes. This is the fourth set.


Coins Included:
Coin #13 - $10 Men's Hurdles - depicts wild deer jumping over fallen trees, symbolic of an athlete running the hurdles.

Coin #14 - $5 Marathon - The Marathon run is represented here by a running figure and birds in migratory flight, symbolic of energy and stamina.

Coin #15 - $10 Women's Shot Put - This design captures the power and strength required in the shot put. The sun and the arc of its passage depict the flight and the distance of the shot.

Coin #16 - $5 Women's Javelin - The effort and grace of the Ladies' Javelin contest dominates this design. Indian spear heads trace the flight of the javelin.

These proof coins are made from specially selected sterling silver blanks, struck twice in the presses, producing a distinguishing "wire effect" on the edge and raising the design detail of the mirror finish coins with frosted images to the highest degree.
