An Act of the Canadian Parliament, Bill C-196, passed in July 1973 authorized the issue of special commemorative Olympic coins as legal tender of Canada.

These proof coins are made from specially selected sterling silver blanks, struck twice in the presses, producing a distinguishing “wire effect” on the edge and raising the design detail of the mirror finish coins with frosted images to the highest degree. To assure the absence of flaws or blemishes, the blanks and coins are meticulously handled with white gloves, through to final packaging.

All Olympic coins contain 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper alloy. The $5 coins are 38mm in diameter, with a fine silver content of .723 Troy oz. The $10 coins are 45 mm in diameter with a fine silver content of 1.44 Troy oz.

Specimens of these coins were examined and found to be Proof by the Editorial Boar of Coin World Magazine.
