Montreal 21st Olympiad 1976
To celebrate and commemorate the XXI Olympic Games in Montreal 1976, Canada issued a series of silver coins in five and ten dollar denominations. The series ran from 1973 to 1976. There were seven pairs of designs in each denomination, making fourteen different designs of coins in each, and twenty eight in total. They were also issued in proof version as well as standard uncirculated finish. On this page, we describe and list each of the uncirculated versions.
We also get proof sets occasionally. these are in sets of 4 coins, all of the same year, and all with a common "sub-theme". In each set there are two $5 coins and two $10 coins. We have added a table showing the proof sets with prices and availabilities, the proof sets are housed in a white birch wood and leather de-luxe case, with each coin in its own protective plastic capsule.

Face Value, Silver Content And Value
At the time of writing, both the silver content and the face value of the $10 coins were between £4 and £4.50; and for the $5 coins were between £2 and £2.25. At our prices, the coins we offer below represent good value. We can sometimes supply complete boxed sets.
