This striking coin was minted to commemorate the 1988 Summer Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea. One side shows the Statue of Liberty torch beside the Olympic torch. The reverse side shows the Olympic Rings. A portion of the sales from each coin went to the US Olympic Committee to fund athlete training.
What’s a proof coin? Proofs are the finest coins produced by the US Mint. The proof blanks are specially treated and hand-polished and cleaned so the images are struck perfectly. They’re also struck at least twice, which results in a frosted and highly-detailed design and mirror-like background. You’ll want to see this coin in-person to appreciate all the fine details.
More on the 1988 Olympics…
The 1988 Summer Olympic Games were the second summer games held in an Asian country. Due to the war with North Korea at the time, several countries boycotted the games, including, Albania, Cuba, and Madagascar. One hundred and sixty countries took part in the games, with 8,391 athletes (6,197 men and 2,194 women).
East German athlete Christa Luding-Rothenburger became the first and only Olympian to win medals in both the Summer and Winter Olympics in the same year. Also, Kirsten Palm, a fencer from Sweden, became the first woman to participate in seven Olympics. The Soviet Union received the most awards, with a total of 132 medals, 55 of which were gold.
