Obverse
The 1984 Olympics Commemorative Silver Dollar was the second coin issued to mark the 1984 Olympic Games. In the prior year, a separate commemorative silver dollar had been issued featuring a discus thrower.
The 1984 coin's obverse depicts the entrance of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, which prominently features two headless sculptures. The coin was designed by Robert Graham, who had created the headless bronze sculptures.
The obverse inscriptions include "Liberty", "In God We Trust", "Los Angeles", "XXIII Olympiad", and the date "1984".
The 1984 Olympic Silver Dollar was produced at all three US Mint facilities. An uncirculated version of the coin was struck at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints. A proof version of the coin was produced at the San Francisco Mint only. The proof version of the coin and the uncirculated version struck at Philadelphia were available for sale individually. The remaining uncirculated versions were only availale as part of a three coin set. The proof coin was also included in the 1984 Prestige Proof Set.
