# 406 - Another Coins - Part 3

in #steemsilvergold5 years ago (edited)

Let's see two coins that I bought in Canada last November.

The first one is a 1973 $5 called "Kingston and Sailboats", minted for the Montreal XXI Summer Olympic (1976). It weights 22.48g (0.72oz) with silver purity of 92.5% and Proof finish.

The Brilliant Uncirculated coins are very common and their price is a little over spot price. The Proof ones have a larger premium.

The second is another Olympic coin. This time, it is a 2009 $5 called "Thunderbird", issued for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games. It weights 1oz with silver purity of 99.99% and Bullion finish. Its mintage was 569,048 units.

Very interesting coin with the "Thunderbird". Is it a folkloric Canadian animal?

Yes, it is a legendary creature in certain North American indigenous peoples' history and culture.

I am really liking the Thunderbird coin! Very cool @ronaldoavelino.

It is very beautiful. Thunderbird is a part of some indigenous cultures in North America.
