| Aanvullende informatie |
The Isle of Man's treasury aggressively pursued the commemorative and bullion coin market throughout the 1990s, issuing dozens of fractional gold pieces annually under licensing arrangements that prioritized topical subject matter over numismatic restraint. The 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano provided the occasion here.
KM#846 is one of several sport-specific fractions from this run, each struck to .9999 fineness — finer than the standard British sovereign alloy — largely to compete with Canadian Maple Leaf product in the investment market.
