The set consists of a one ounce coin and two quarter ounce coins. There are 9 designs inspired by the official motto of the Olympic Games: Citius, Altius, Fortius meaning Faster, Higher, Stronger. The one ounce coin features God of the Sea, Neptune, who is representing Sailing. The design will relate Neptune and athletes who aim for mastery over water.
