Are You Missing These 1992 Olympic Coins?
Only 1 Set Available!
These striking coins were minted in 1992 for that year’s summer games in Barcelona, Spain and winter games in Albertville, France. Set includes a clad half dollar and 90% silver dollar, both uncirculated. Surcharges from the sale of these coins went to the US Olympic Committee, to support athlete training.
The half dollar coin pictures a gymnast in front of the American flag on the front. The back pictures an Olympic torch and olive branch. It also includes the Olympic motto “Citius Altius Fortius,” Latin for “Faster, Higher, Stronger.”
The 90% silver dollar coin pictures a baseball player throwing a ball on the front. The back depicts the Union Shield with olive branches and the Olympic rings. There was a bit of controversy surrounding this coin. The pitcher on the front strongly resembles a photo of Nolan Ryan that appeared on a baseball card. The coin’s designer denied this and stated he drew inspiration from several sources, including Ryan.
The silver dollar also marks a notable first – it’s the first US commemorative coin with edge lettering! It has “XXV Olympiad” inscribed around the edge four times. Edge lettering had been used on US coins dating back to the late 1700s, but they weren’t commemorative coins. And the last coin prior to this to have edge lettering was the 1933 Saint-Gaudens double eagle.
The coins will make great additions to your coin or Olympics collection – order now.
