| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two ancient Greek figures occupy the central field: a draped female figure, likely representing Athena or a priestess, stands to the left holding a spear or staff, while a nude male athlete stands to the right, rendered in the classical Hellenic tradition. The denomination 100 DOLLARS appears to the right of the figures. The date span 776 B.C. - 1976 A.D. arcs along the left periphery, commemorating the history of the Olympic Games, while the Greek legend ΟΛΥΜΠΙΑΔΕΣ and the numeral 21, denoting the 21st Olympiad held in Montreal, appear in the lower exergual area. |

The 1976 Montréal Olympics gold issues were the first Canadian coins struck in 14-karat gold — a deliberate compromise driven by the Royal Canadian Mint's need to produce an affordable collector piece without committing to the fine gold standard used by most sovereign bullion programs. The unusual .5833 fineness was chosen precisely to hit a retail price point accessible to the general public during the Games' fundraising push, as Montréal's organizing committee was already struggling under catastrophic cost overruns that left the city servicing Olympic debt until 2006.
