For the 1984 Olympics, which was held in Los Angeles, the US government issued several iconic coins. All of them were devoted to the Olympic Games and reflected the state symbols of the country.
Of these, the most impressive is a coin worth 1 dollar, released in the year of the Olympic Games in Los Angeles - 1984. The design team was able to reflect the sports theme and emphasize the great-power ambitions of modern America. In addition, the developers of the memorable one-dollar coin drew a direct parallel with Ancient Greece.
The front side of the one-dollar coin is entirely devoted to sports themes, which are known to have been cultivated in Greece. On the second side you can clearly see the strong bend of the famous eagle. The solemnity of the image emphasize the contrasting tones - black and white. And the olive branch in the paws of an eagle symbolizes the victorious American spirit. At the top, above the eagle, a semicircle is the inscription: "United States of America".
The coin has a solemn entourage, for which collectors especially appreciate it. At the same time it is made of expensive raw materials - from 900 silver. The weight of the coin is 26.73 grams, and the diameter is 38.1 millimeters.
Currently, the one-dollar coin of 1984 is presented both in the UNC category and in the Proof.
