# 277 - An Unboxing - Part 4

in #steemsilvergold5 years ago (edited)

In 1976 Montreal, Quebec, hosted the XXI Summer Olympiad.

To commemorate and help finance Canada's first Olympics, the federal government agreed to produce a series of twenty-eight silver and two gold coins.

There are seven series of silver coins and each series has two $5 and two $10 coins.

Each series depicts different Olympic themes on the reverse and a common design (except for the date) on the obverse.

All the coins have an Uncirculated and a Proof finish.

Proof coins are more expensive than the Uncirculated ones, which trade with little premium over spot.

Each $10 coin weights 48.6g with silver purity of 92.5%.

I will show you the two Proof $10 coins of the first series. The theme is "Geographic".

The first one is a Map of the World.

The second one is a Montreal Skyline.

I had already seen these coins, but they were uncirculated. This Proof version is much more beautiful.

I have just answered @knowledge-seeker's comment with your words.I have both the uncirculated and the proof and they cannot compare...

Very nice @ronaldoavenlino! The first one with the map of the world is really simple and nice to look at.

They are so much more beautiful with the Proof finish. The uncirculated ones have a very dull shine.

I really like the obverse on those coins. Very simple and elegant. So many coins I have to add to my collection.
