| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed and draped classical head facing left, rendered in a neo-antique Hellenistic style with elaborately curled hair bound by a headband. Two large maple leaf sprigs emerge from the lower left field, framing the portrait. The date '19 76' appears in two lines to the right of the bust, above the five interlocked Olympic rings. The legend 'MONTREAL' curves along the upper right rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This piece was issued by a private German mint — not the Federal Republic's official coinage authority — capitalizing on Olympic enthusiasm in the lead-up to Montreal. The "Aureus Magnus" designation is a commercial branding choice, not an official monetary classification, and these were sold directly to collectors at a steep premium over melt value.
The 1976 Montreal Games were already financially catastrophic for the host city, running nearly $1.5 billion over budget — a debt Quebec taxpayers were still servicing into the 1990s.
