The gold for sale from the Royal Canadian Mint is a well-known symbol of purity and quality in the 21st century. In 1976, however, Canada had not yet introduced any gold bullion coins and only issued commemorative coins with gold content. One of the first was the 1976 Proof Gold Canadian Olympic Coins honoring the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Quebec. Right now, 1976 $100 1/2 oz Proof Gold Canadian Olympic Coins are available to purchase online at Silver.com.

Coin Highlights:

  • Ships to you in a protective box with a Certificate of Authenticity!
  • Struck in 1976 to mark the Summer Olympics!
  • Original mintage limited to 350,000 coins only!
  • Consists of One-Half Troy ounce of actual gold content.
  • Bears a face value of $100 (CAD) backed by the federal government of Canada.
  • The obverse features Queen Elizabeth II.
  • On the reverse is a Greek Olympian being crowned by Athena.
  • Proof specimens.
  • Please bear in mind that the box and COA may show varying levels of wear and tear given the age of the coins.

Each 1976 $100 1/2 oz Proof Gold Canadian Olympic Coin in this listing comes to you with proof visuals, a protective box, and a Certificate of Authenticity. The 1/4 oz gold release in 1976 was a proof coin with frosted designs and mirror-like fields. These coins have a much lower mintage than their 1/4 oz gold counterpart at just 350,000 coins compared to 650,000 coins for the 1/4 oz release. However, while the 1/4 oz gold coin had 14-karat gold content, these impressive specimens boast 22-karat gold. Given the age of these coins, we’d like you to note that it is possible to find wear and tear across the box and COA in this listing.

The designs of the 1976 Gold Canadian Olympic Coins were the same across the 1/4 oz and 1/2 oz issues. Both coins have the Arnold Machin portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and an ancient depiction from Greek history of the Ancient Olympic Games on the reverse. The designer of the reverse element was Dora de Pedery-Hunt, who would go on to become the first Canadian to design a monarch portrait for national coins in 1990.

The obverse side of 1976 Proof Gold Canadian Olympic Coins features a right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is England’s longest-reigning monarch and this design was just the second used on coins of the realm and the Commonwealth starting in 1965. Designed by Arnold Machin, it featured on Canadian coins from 1965 to 1989.

On the reverse field of 1976 $100 1/4 oz Proof Gold Canadian Olympic Coins is an image of the Greek goddess Athena. She is shown here standing near an Ancient Greek Olympian as she extends an arm to crown him with a laurel wreath.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
