Smile 1 kilo silver coins commemorating sport events

Hi everybody from Italy.
I have started investing in precious metal coins two years ago, but after the first arrivals, I switched immediately to coin collecting.
I am keen on sports, so I decided to focus on coins commemorative of sport events.
I was willing to have a complete collection, if possible, and so I decided to focus on 1 kilo silver coins.
During a couple of years I think I had been able to complete my collection, and I am still acquiring new coins that are minted.

Here is a brief recap of the coins, in order of date:

1. The Sydney 2000 Olympic coin collection. Olympic kilo masterpiece (Australia)
2. Football World's Cup 2002 (Russia)
3. Die 1-Kilo-Silber-Gedenkmuenze zu den Olympischen Spielen 2004 (Belarus)
4. The Commemorative Silver Coin of 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany (China)
5. $30 One Kilo Fine Silver Coin - Commonwealth games (Australia)
6. Soccer World Cup Germany 2006 (Liberia)
7. Sports Montage. 1 Kilo Silver Proof Coin - Asian games (Qatar)
8. Die 1-Kilo-Silber-Gedenkmuenze zu den Olympischen Spielen 2008 (Belarus)
9. 2007 $250 Silver Coin. Early Canada - 2010 Winter Olympic games (Canada)
10. The official precious metal commemorative coin programme for the games of the XXIX Olympiad. Series II. 1 Kilogram Silver Coin (China)
11. 50€ Silver Brilliant Uncirculated - Rugby world cup (France)
12. The official precious metal commemorative coin programme for the games of the XXIX Olympiad. Series III. 1 Kilogram Silver Coin (China)
13. 2008 $250 Silver Coin. Towards Confederation - 2010 Winter Olympic Games (Canada)
14. 2009 $250 Silver Coin. Surviving the flood - 2010 Winter Paralympic Games (Canada)
15. 2009 $250 Silver Coin. Modern Canada - 2010 Winter Olympic Games (Canada)

I will post soon the schedes of the coins, pics and their details.

I hope to share info on this very unique collection, and to check if they are actually all the Legal Tender coins, weighting one kilo, in silver, commemorating sport events ever minted.



Hi for now,
Piero
