Why add this Silver Dollar commemorating the 1984 Olympic Games to your collection?
The Summer Olympic Games of 1984 were held in Los Angeles, California. This 1984-P Olympic Silver Dollar is the second coin issued by the U.S. Mint in honor of the worldwide sporting event. The obverse imagery depicting two headless figures on the Olympic Gateway, replicating the arched entrance of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum designed by sculptor Robert Graham, is among the most controversial of all U.S. modern commemorative coin designs. The distinctive coin was struck at the Philadelphia Mint from 0.7736 Troy oz. of .900 fine silver, with a reported mintage of 217,954.
Imagery by Robert Graham, Designer of the Olympic Gateway
Graham's Olympic Gateway is depicted on the obverse, featuring the two headless sculptures on either side of an Olympic flame on a lintel. Inscriptions include "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," "LOS ANGELES," "XXIII OLYMPIAD" and "1984."
The reverse illustrates a majestic bald eagle holding an olive branch, standing on a stone with "E PLURIBUS UNUM," "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "ONE DOLLAR" inscribed above.
