The offering identifies 2002 as its issue year.

It connects an official coin issue with a specific international sporting event. Modern commemoratives are authorized for specific subjects rather than being designed for ordinary daily circulation. Their historical meaning comes from the named program, while the finish and any third-party certification identify the particular version offered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and product identity\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe obverse includes the Games’ crystal emblem, Olympic rings and related visual identity. The reverse shows the Salt Lake City skyline with the Rocky Mountains. The design subject belongs to this commemorative program and should not be substituted with the artwork of an American Silver Eagle or a different anniversary coin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct format:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eListed metal amount:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7734 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFineness or alloy:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90% silver composition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMint or maker attribution:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States Mint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIssue-year selection:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2002\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish or condition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Proof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e XP1D02SLC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUnderstanding the metal content\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrecious metal ounce weights use the troy system. One troy ounce equals 31.1034768 grams, while a kilogram equals one thousand grams. Fineness states the proportion of precious metal in an alloy; fine metal weight states the amount of that metal. An alloyed coin’s gross weight includes its other metals as well. These measurements explain why a denomination, a package weight and a stated fine metal amount should not be treated as the same specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFinish and condition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eProof describes a specialized manufacturing process using prepared blanks and dies to create a distinctive presentation. It does not automatically mean Proof 70, and an ungraded Proof can have its own handling or preservation characteristics. The term should be kept separate from metal purity and from ordinary mint packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePreserving the product\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreserving the surface and the original identifying information helps retain the product’s physical history. Handle an unencapsulated collectible by its edges where appropriate and avoid polishing or abrasive cleaning. Keep a certified holder or stated assay package intact when retaining its identification matters. A brighter surface created by cleaning is not the same thing as a higher original condition grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterial, design and numismatic identity\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA product’s history is carried by several different kinds of information. The issuing or manufacturing name explains its origin, the design identifies its subject, the metal specification describes its material and the condition language describes its preservation. A date can connect the piece with a particular program or historical period without proving that it is rare. These features remain meaningful together even when two offerings contain similar amounts of precious metal. Keeping them distinct provides a more accurate description of the actual object.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eReading the coin as a manufactured object\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe obverse and reverse are the two principal sides of a coin. Raised design elements are called devices, while the surrounding open areas are fields. Dies transfer the intended image to a prepared metal blank during striking. Those production terms help explain why design, strike and later surface wear are separate subjects. A weakly expressed detail can relate to manufacture, while circulation wear reflects what happened afterward. The coin’s physical history is therefore more specific than its denomination or its metal alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"kz-product-sources\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical and technical references:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.usmint.gov\/learn\/coins-and-medals\/commemorative-coins\/olympic-winter-games\/olympic-winter-games-silver\"\u003eU.S. Mint background\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.usmint.gov\/news\/inside-the-mint\/how-coins-are-made-coin-production-terminology\"\u003eU.S. Mint background\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kzoo Bullion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52514300887335,"sku":"XP1D02SLC","price":50.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/5046\/7367\/files\/media_e6d22357-10d2-470e-a80a-e39376dd89b1.jpg?v=1793681730","url":"https:\/\/kzoobullion.com\/products\/2002-p-1-slc-winter-olympics-silver-commem-proof","provider":"Kzoo Bullion","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
