3293) New Zealand: New Ingot-shape Gold And Silver
Proof Coins Celebrates National Olympic Team In Paris: Date/Year of Ingot/Coins issue: 2024:
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand has released a new range
of collector coins in celebration of the Paris Olympics.
The collection included ingot-shaped gold and silver
coins.
New Zealand’s participation in the modern Olympic Games
began in 1908 when athletes from both Australia and New Zealand competed in the
London Olympic Games as part of the Australasia Team.
This combined team also
sent athletes to the 1912 Games in
Stockholm however, when the Olympic Games resumed in 1920 after World War I,
both nations sent separate teams to the Games, and have done so ever since.
The
last time New Zealand’s Olympic athletes participated in Olympic Games hosted
in Paris was 100 years ago with just four competitors comprising two runners, a
rower, and a 15-year-old swimmer.
It was Arthur Porrit (1900 – 1994) won a
bronze medal in the 100 metre dash event.
Presently, the 2024 Games represent New
Zealand's twenty-fifth appearance as an independent nation and are represented
by 195 athletes competing across 23 sports.
Team New Zealand were led by flag
bearers track cyclist Aaron Gate and sailing athlete Jo Aleh who were chosen by
their fellow Olympians.
Gate won bronze at the London 2012 Olympic Games and is
now a four-time Olympian who is also one of New Zealand’s most decorated ever
Commonwealth Games athletes, with six medals, including the four golds won at
Birmingham in 2022.
Aleh is a two-time Olympic medallist, having won gold at
London 2012 and silver at Rio 2016, alongside crewmate Polly Powrie.
New
Zealand’s most successful sport has been rowing with 29 medals, athletics is
second with 26 medals.
Before the 2022 Winter Olympics, the 140 medals won by
New Zealand put the country at number 32 on the all-time Olympic Games medal
table for total number of medals and number 24 when tabulated by medal type.
The Coins:
