Beijing Olympic Gold & Silver Coins
Beijing Olympic Coins continue an important Olympic tradition set forth in 1952 with the production of the first commemorative coins for the Olypmic Games. Since this first minting, Olympic Coins have been a sought after and highly valued commodity due to their representation of the Olympic legacy of peace and international relations, as well as the minter's ability to truly capture the spirit of the country hosting the games.
The 2008 minting commemorates the first time in history that China has hosted the Olympic games, an event that evoked a passion and vitality in the Chinese people that was reflected in the beautiful ceremonies of the games and growths in Chinese society and economy. Owning the collection of Beijing Olympic Coins is a wonderful way for you to be a part of both the 2008 Olympic Games AND this splendid growth in China!
These coins also have immense intrinsic value imbued in them as they are minted in gold and silver, and are of the highest craftsmanship. The gold coins bear a beautiful paired dragon image on the obverse, and stylized representations derived from ancient Chinese traditional sports, such as wrestling and archery. The silver coins display beautiful renditions of Chinese culture, one series focusing on traditional childrens' games, another on Chinese landmarks, and another on Chinese traditions.
