Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1975 Canadian Silver Javelin $5 coin is that it features a unique reverse design that showcases a stylized javelin thrower in motion, set against a background of concentric circles. This design was created by Canadian artist and designer, Robert-Ralph Carmichael, and was specifically chosen to commemorate Canada's hosting of the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal. The coin's obverse features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, also designed by Carmichael. The coin's unique design and limited mintage have made it a popular collector's item among numismatists and sports enthusiasts.
