Comments

The 1996 Olympic Cauldron $5 Gold Coin was issued as one of the coins of the expansive commemorative coin program for the Centennial Olympic Games held in Atlanta, Georgia. The program included a total of sixteen different coin designs issued in compositions of gold, silver, and copper-nickel clad. The overwhelming scope of the program and the tepid collector reaction caused the modern commemorative coin process to be reviewed and eventually altered.
