OLYMPIC COINS FROM SAN MARINO
San Marino issued this attractive
100 & 200 Lire coins in 1980 for the Moscow Olympic Games. The
designs were based on the ancient Greek Olympics. The 28mm steel 100
Lire pictures a muscular naked archer drawing a bow. The 24mm
aluminum-bronze 200 Lire pictures a pair of wrestlers. The
reverse of both coins features the Olympic rings and the three towers
of San Marino. Both coins are beautiful, but very difficult to
photograph due to their low relief.
North Korea celebrated the
2000 Sydney Olympics with this set of three multi-colored .999 fine
silver Proof coins. The coins feature the famed Sydney Opera
House, maps of Australia, and of course, Kangaroos. The coins are
dated 1997 and each comes in its own capsule.
