กกThe
16th Olympic Winter Games Commemorative Coins
|
The 1992 Albertville
Olympics were the last Winter Games to be staged the same year as
the Summer Games.
Only 18 of the 57 events were held in Albertville itself, while outlying
resorts hosted the rest. Freestyle skiing and
short-track speedskating made their debuts as medal disciplines, as
did women's biathlon. Norwegian skiers
won every cross-country skiing race, as Bjorn Dahlie and Vegard Ulvang
each won three gold medals.
Speedskater Bonnie Blair won the 500 and 1 000m events, while Gunda
Niemann took both of the longest races.
At age 16, ski jumper Toni Nieminen became the youngest male winner
of a Winter event. Earning two golds and
silver, Mark Kirchner became the first biathlete to medal in all three
biathlon events. Alpine skier Petra Kronberger
won both the combined event and the slalom. Kim Ki-hoon earned gold
medals in both short-track events.
To mark the 16th Winter Olympic Games, the People's Bank of China
issued the 16th Winter Olympic Games
commemorative gold and silver coins. Altogether 3 coins, one is gold
and others are silver. They all are Chinese
legal tender. The obverse of gold coin depicts the National Emblem,
the title of the PRC and the issuing year. The
reverse of the gold coin depicts the Pair Skating. The common obverse
of silver coins are same as the gold coin,
the reverses of the silver coins depict the Speed Skating and Slalon.
They are minted by Shanghai Mint and
exclusively distributed by China Gold Inc.. |
