1988 Canada's Olympic Team Pins

These are the two variations of the Canada's Olympic Team pictogram pin from the 1988 Winter Games held in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The pin on the left is a cloisonné and is featured as pin number 41 on page 6 of the Pin Collectors Guide of the 1988 Olympic Winter Games, published by The Coca-Cola Company. According to the December 31, 1990 Final Update to the previously referenced pin guide, there were a total of 44,420 of these pins produced. As for the fine enamel version of this pin shown on the right, I am unaware of how many of these pins were produced. The pin on the left has a value of $8.00 USD, and the pin on the right's value is $12.00 USD.
