175 Dollars - Elizabeth II Olympic movement, I.O.C. coinage

Issued to mark the centenary of the modern Olympic movement — the IOC was founded in 1894, though the first Athens Games didn't follow until 1896 — this coin belongs to a broader Canadian gold series that attracted more collector speculation than genuine numismatic interest at the time of release. The Royal Canadian Mint aggressively marketed Olympic-themed coinage through the early 1990s, a period when gold commemoratives were crowding the market and secondary premiums were already softening before coins left the mint.
