CommentsThe 1994 World Cup Silver Dollar carried an extremely high maximum authorized mintage of 5 million coins. In recent prior years, commemorative dollar coins had much smaller maximum mintages. The coins were produced with a proof or uncirculated finish, with proof coins minted at San Francisco and uncirculated coins minted at Denver. The dollar coins were sold individually, as part of five different multi coin sets, and within a special edition set.
The reverse design featuring the 1994 World Cup logo adapted by Dean McMullen was used as the reverse design across all three coins of the program. This represented the first time the United States Mint had used a common design across commemorative coins of different denominations. |
