Re: five dollar gold coin

The 2002 Winter Olympics, held in Salt Lake City, Utah, were also commemorated with several coins. This series included a 2002 Olympic Winter Games Five Dollar Gold piece, which featured Donna Weaver’s designs of the Winter Olympics Crystal Emblem on the obverse and the Olympic flame and cauldron image on the reverse. This coin, produced at the West Point, N.Y. mint facility, had a small production of only 80,000 coins.

Authorized by Congress under Public Law 106-435 the U.S. Mint issued two commemorative coins to support the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Winter Games. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each coin -- $35 for gold and $10 for silver-- was authorized to help support the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Winter Games.

The gold five-dollar is the design of U.S. Mint sculptor/engraver Donna Weaver.  The obverse of this coin features the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Winter Games Crystal Emblem superimposed on top of the Games' secondary identity mark entitled: "Rhythm of the Land."  The reverse portrays the Olympic flame in relief atop a cauldron.

The silver dollar obverse is the design of U.S. Mint sculptor/engraver John Mercanti.  It features the Crystal Emblem of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, Olympic Rings, and the Games' secondary identity mark entitled: "Rhythm of the Land."  The designer of the reverse is U.S. Mint sculptor/engraver Donna Weaver and portrays Salt Lake City skyline with the Rocky Mountains in the background.

Metal composition of the coins is as follows

  • Gold five-dollar; 90% gold and 10% alloy, diameter is 0.850 (±0.003) inch or 21.59 (±0.08) mm and the weight is 8.359 (±0.42) grams.
     
  • Silver one-dollar; 90% silver and 10% alloy, diameter is 1.500 (±0.003) inches or 38.10 (±0.08) mm and the weight is 26.730 (±0.400) grams.

These coins were available in both proof and uncirculated condition and with various packaging options.

You can purchase that type of coin from:
