$25 Silver Hologram Coin à Freestyle Skiing (2008)
Freestyle skiing began in the 1960's when social change and freedom of expression led to new and exciting skiing techniques. Originally a mix of alpine skiing andacrobatics, the first competition was held in New Hampshire in 1966. The sport became an Olympic medal event in 1992 in Albertville, and only two years later in Lillehammer, Canadians won gold in moguls, andsilver and bronze medals at the first aerials event.
This must-have Vancouver 2010 keepsake is the seventh coin in a unique hologram series of 15 sterling silver coins celebrating the Winter Olympic Games. Its gorgeous design is enhanced with a dazzling selective hologram of the official Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games logo.
Citius, Altius, Fortius (Faster, Higher, Stronger)
These three words, comprising the motto of the Olympic movement, encourage the athlete in all of us to give our best during competition, and to view this effort as its own victory.
