Honoring the Olympic ideals of peace and hope...The original Olympic games involved a “peace truce” to allow athletes from warring nations to come together and compete. This exquisite new design, crafted by the esteemed Pobjoy Mint, honors that tradition. The new dollar coin features doves, universal symbols of peace for thousands of years in many different cultures. A dove brought a message from God in the biblical story of Noah’s Ark. On the reverse five glorious doves, each holding an olive branch of peace, ascend from the flames of the Olympic torch. They are encircled by the word “Olympic” and floral accents. The intricate Coat of Arms of Sierra Leone graces the obverse. Brilliant Uncirculated copper-nickel. |
