Comment

The 2002 Olympic Salt Lake City Silver Dollar was issued for the 2002 Winter Olympics held in Salt Lake City, Utah. A surcharge added to the cost of each coin helped support the Olympic Games. Similar to the gold coin included in the same commemorative coin program, the silver dollar features geometric design elements.

The 2002 Olympics Silver Dollar was issued in proof version and uncirculated versions both struck at the Philadelphia Mint. The coins were sold individually, included in a two coin uncirculated set, or four coin proof and uncirculated set. The maximum authorized mintage was set at 400,000 coins across both options. The majority of the final mintage comprised the proof version of the coin.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Salt Lake City Olympic Games $1 coin is that it was designed by sculptor Glenna Goodacre, who is known for her depictions of Native American women. The coin's obverse features a portrait of a young Native American woman wearing a feather headdress, while the reverse features a stylized image of the Salt Lake City skyline and the Olympic rings. Goodacre's design was chosen from among 180 submissions and was praised for its beauty and cultural sensitivity.
