On the 10th October 1964, the 18th Olympic Games began and marked the first Olympics held in Asia. These games were the first to have colour telecasts and to be telecast international without the need for tapes to be flown overseas – giving everyone across the globe the opportunity to be a part of this phenomenal atmosphere from the comfort of their own homes. 56 years on, unfortunately the Olympic Games has been postponed until 2021 where they will once again be held in Tokyo. However, at The London Mint Office, we do not want you to wait any longer and we are very excited announce that the first two editions of ‘Countdown to Tokyo’ Commemorative Coin Series is now available. Each coin in the series celebrates ‘Highest’, ‘Fastest’ and ‘Strongest’ which mirrors perfectly the official Olympic motto: “Citius, Altius, Fortius”. With almost the entire series already sold out, we urge you to act now to secure your ‘Countdown to Tokyo’ Commemorative Coin today.
P.S. The excitement at the Olympics is nothing less than magical and the final coin in the series will be available soon!
