　The 13th Olympic Winter Games Commemorative Coins

The 13th Winter Olympic Games were held in Lake Placid in 1980. Although the 1980 Winter Games opened

less than seven weeks after the Soviet Union's 1979 invasion of Afghanistan, over 1,100 athletes from 37

countries participated in the 1980 Winter Games. But the only one most people will ever remember are 21–year-

old American speed skater Eric Heiden, who won five individual gold medals, and the U.S. hockey team—a

bunch of college kids (average age 22) who beat the unbeatable Russians.

To mark the 13th Winter Olympic Games, the People's Bank of China issued the 13th Winter Olympic Games

commemorative gold, silver and copper coins. Altogether 18 coins, two are gold, eight are silver and the other

eight are copper. They all are Chinese legal tender. The common obverse depicts the National Emblem, logo of

Chinese Olympic Committee and also the respective face value. The common reverse of the gold coins depict

the Men Skating. The reverses of the silver coins depict the Women Speed Skating, Women Figure Skating, Men

Alpine Skiing and Men Modern Two Winter Items. The reverses of the copper coins depict the Women Speed

Skating, Women Figure Skating, Men Alpine Skiing and Men Modern Two Items. They are minted by Shenyang

Mint and exclusively distributed by China Gold Coin Inc..
