Comment

In ancient Greece, a "sacred truce" suspended all hostilities so that warriors could compete in Olympia. At the much larger modern Games, athletes come from all over the world to compete in a climate of peace, equality and fair play. Embodying the finest virtues - tolerance, respect, friendship - they exalt ideals that inspire and unite humanity.

Citius, altius, fortius (Faster, higher, stronger)

This is the motto of the Olympic movement, which encourages the athlete in all of us to surpass ourselves and to see this effort as a victory in itself.

Canada has hosted the Olympic Winter Games just once, in Calgary, Alberta, in 1988. In 2010, we are proud to host them again, this time in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Packaging

Each piece is encapsulated, accompanied by a numbered certificate and delivered in a black presentation box, protected by a special Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games themed sleeve. Automatically translated

Dans la Grèce antique, une « trêve sacrée » suspendait toutes les hostilités pour que les guerriers puissent rivaliser d’adresse à Olympie. Aux Jeux modernes, beaucoup plus imposants, les athlètes viennent du monde entier pour s’affronter dans un climat de paix, d’égalité et de fair-play. Incarnant les plus belles vertus – tolérance, respect, amitié – ils exaltent des idéaux qui inspirent et unissent l’humanité.

Citius, altius, fortius (Plus vite, plus haut, plus fort)

Telle est la devise du mouvement olympique, qui encourage l’athlète en chacun de nous à se surpasser et à voir cet effort comme une victoire en soi.

Le Canada a accueilli les Jeux olympiques d’hiver une seule fois, à Calgary (Alberta) en 1988. En 2010, il a la fierté de les accueillir à nouveau, cette fois à Vancouver (Colombie-Britannique).

Emballage

Chaque pièce est encapsulée, accompagnée d’un certificat numéroté et livrée dans un boîtier de présentation noir, protégé par un fourreau thématique spécial des Jeux olympiques d’hiver de 2010 à Vancouver.
