# 581 - 1976 Olympic Coins - Part 7

avatar
(Edited)

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 IV has the theme "Track and Field Sports".

The seventh coin is a $10 CAD designed by Leo Yerxa, winner of an invitational competition, and its name is "Women's Shot Put".
Although men's shot put has been a part of the modern Olympics since the first one, in 1896, women's competition began only in 1948.
The reverse shows an stilized design of a female First People and the trajectory of the shot.
Its issue price was $15.75 CAD.

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