Highlights:
The 1988 Summer Olympics were hosted by South Korea and the United States Mint marked the occasion with a commemorative silver dollar. These types of commemorative silver dollars were commonly included in US Mint Prestige Proof Sets in the 1980s and 1990s before other types of silver coin programs were available at the US Mint.
Obverse
On the obverse side of the coins in the 1988 US Mint Prestige Proof Set are various different designs. The circulation coins feature the popular effigies of Presidents Lincoln, Jefferson, Roosevelt, Washington, and Kennedy on the US penny, nickel, dime, quarter, and half dollars in this set. The Olympic silver dollar features an image of the Olympic torch being lit by the flame of Lady Libertys torch.
Reverse
The reverse field of the 1988 US Mint Prestige Proof Set coins comes with various designs such as the heraldic eagle, Great Seal of the United States, and other American symbolism. For the Olympic silver dollar, the design features the Olympic rings at the center with the initials USA above. The design is flanked by olive branches.
History
US Mint Prestige Proof Sets were predominantly produced by the United States Mint between 1982 and 1997. A staple of these sets was the inclusion of the five circulation denominations common in the United States, each of which is struck in proof on the standard circulation blanks.
