This third coin in a dazzling 15-coin series bears the theme of Athletes' Pride: athletes wave the flag in celebration of an Olympic success for Canada. The breathtaking colour of a selective hologram highlights the official Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games emblem.
Citius, Altius, Fortius (Faster, Higher, Stronger)
These three words, comprising the motto of the Olympic movement, encourage the athlete in all of us to give our best during competition, and to view this effort as its own victory
