1 Dollar (XXIII Olympiad Los Angeles)

The 1983 Olympic Dollar: an ancient athlete, reborn to pay for a modern Games

In 1983 the United States struck its first commemorative silver dollar since 1900 — and put an ancient Greek discus thrower on it. Each one carried a $10 surcharge that went straight to the Los Angeles Games. It became the only modern commemorative ever sold from all three U.S. mints at once.
