In commemoration of the success of Beijing's bidding for 2008 Olympic
games, the People's Bank of China
issued the success of Beijing's bidding for 2008 Olympic games commemorative
silver coin.
I. The obverse of the commemorative
silver coin depicts the title of the PRC, the issuing year, the colorful
Olympiad bidding logo, an English character ' V ' ( for victory )
inlayed with gold and successive abstract images
of gymnasts. The bidding logo is composed of five colors, which symbolizes
the Olympic rings; its shape conveys
two latent meanings: 1. A Chinese
knot; 2. A person who is playing
Taiji. The whole pattern is harmoniously
composed and full of motion. It symbolizes the worldwide cooperation,
communication and development, and
calls for a new century created by all the countries together. It
also expresses the Olympic spirit --- faster, higher,
stronger. The character '2008' and 'BEIJING' just under the bidding
logo means the success of the Beijing's
bidding for 2008 Olympic games.
II. The reverse features the Hall
of Prayer for Good Harvests of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing and
an opening
door, the denomination and ' 庆祝北京申奥成功纪念 ' ( to celebrate the success
of Beijing's bidding for 2008
Olympic games) in Chinese characters. The commemorative coins were
minted by Shanghai Mint and
exclusively distributed by China Gold Coin Inc.. |
