Depictions on the Olympic
Coins
|
Most
of the previous Olympic commemorative coins depict the followings:
1. The Olympic Emblem
2. The Olympic Mascot
3. The Olympic Five Interlocking Rings
4. The Olympic Torch or the Delivery
of the Torch
5. The Olympic Sports (sometimes there are several kinds of
sport on one
picture, e.g. There are 26 sports on the Sydney Olympic 1Kg commemorative
coin)
6. The Olympic Stadium (the stadium combined
with the building of the host city or
with the sports)
7. The Ancient Olympic Sports or the Ancient Traditional Sports
of the Host Nation
8. The Olympic Paralympic Games (the
emblem, the paralympic athletes and sports)
9. The Theme (e.g. The XX Olympic Games,
there are 'LIBERTY' and 'IN GOD TRUST' etc. on the Atlanta Olympic
commemorative coins, which shows us the American valuation.)
10. The National Emblem, the National
Flag----the symbolization of the nation
11. The Host Nation's Domain
12. The Host Nation's Natural Scenes
13. The Rare and Precious Animals and Plants of the Host Nation
14. The Culture or the History Characters of the Host Nation
15. The Famous Athletes and the Representative
Sports
16. The Symbol Building of the Host City
(maybe combined with the sports or the emblem)
17. The View of the Host City
18. The Key Element of the Commemorative Coin (the issuing
year, face value and the title of the nation)
Most of the Olympic commemorative coins are concerning with the Olympic
Spirit, the Olympic sports and the scenes of
the host city, the culture, history and nature of the host nation.
It's no doubt that the issuing of the Beijing Olympic
commemorative coins is a great systematical project. How to show the
two subjects -----the Olympic Spirit and the
Beijing 'Green Olympic, Technical Olympic, Humane Olympic' needs to
concentrate the wisdoms of the whole society
and to make a whole plan to issue them. |
