1992 France Proof Gold 500 Francs Winter Olympics (w/Box & COA)
The 1992 Albertville Olympic Games were the 16th Winter Olympics, and the last Winter Games to be staged in the same year as the Summer Games. Only 18 of the 57 events were held in Albertville itself, while nearby resorts hosted the rest. Most countries hosting Olympics issue special commemorative coins to celebrate the event, and these also help to fund the cost of hosting the games. They can make a good addition to many collections, and also make great gift items for any enthusiasts of the particular sports.
The obverse shows the Olympic emblem of Albertville with the legend: XVIes JEUX OLYMPIQUES D’HIVER, the year 1989 and 500 FRANCS. The reverse features a downhill skier with a view of Mont Blanc in the background, with the legend: “République Française”, and the artist’s signature, "G BRUN". The edge is inscribed with the lettering: "Liberté Fraternité Egalité".
