About the Item

The Olympic Flame Centenary Coin is a commemorative piece minted to celebrate the centenary of the Olympic Games. Head of Queen Elizabeth II, as at 64 years of age, wearing the royal diadem, necklace, and earrings, facing right. The coin is crafted from 22 karat yellow gold, ensuring both durability and a rich, lustrous appearance. The use of high-purity gold signifies its value and collectible status. The coin has a face value of 175 dollars, issued by Canada, marking its authenticity and legal tender status. The coin commemorates the centenary of the Olympic Flame, a symbol of the enduring spirit and tradition of the Olympic Games. The Olympic Flame represents the ideals of peace, unity, and friendship among nations. The obverse side of the coin features an image of Queen Elizabeth II, a common element on Canadian currency, along with inscriptions denoting the coin’s country of origin and face value. Inscriptions include "ELIZABETH II," "D.G. REGINA" (by the Grace of God, Queen), "175 DOLLARS," and the year of minting, 1992. Engraver: Dora de Pédery-Hunt The reverse side features a detailed and symbolic depiction of the Olympic Flame, shown as a burning torch or flame, accompanied by several different faces reaching toward the Olympic torch. Engraver: Ago Aarand, Designer: Stewart Sherwood. On the edge there is a script in latin : citius, altius, fortius. Mint : Royal Canadian Mint of Ottawa, Canada. This coin was minted along with several countries for the International Olympic Comittee (I.O.C.) in commemoration of the centennial of the Olympics. The coin is struck with high relief, showcasing intricate details and fine craftsmanship typical of commemorative coins. The design elements are rendered with precision, highlighting both the flame's symbolic significance and the historical importance of the centenary celebration. As a limited-edition commemorative coin, the Olympic Flame Centenary Coin holds significant value for collectors, particularly those with an interest in Olympic memorabilia or numismatic pieces. The high gold content (22 karat) and the coin's limited mintage enhance its appeal as an investment piece, offering both historical and material value.

Its exquisite design, high gold content, and historical significance make it a prized possession for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
