Comment

The 1996 Olympic Rowing Silver Dollar was issued as part of an extensive program of commemorative coins for the Centennial Olympic Games held in Atlanta, Georgia. The program included sixteen coins minted in clad, silver, and gold, released over the course of two years.

The 1996 Rowing Silver Dollar was produced in uncirculated version at the Denver Mint and proof version at the Philadelphia Mint. Across both versions, the mintage was limited to 1,000,000 coins. Similar to other coins of the program, the Rowing Silver Dollar achieved only a fraction of this amount. The coins were offered individually, or as part of several different multi-coin sets produced by the United States Mint.
