This 14-pin Coca-Cola set depicts a hockey player dressed in the colors of each nation that participed in the 1998 Winter Olympic hockey tournament in Nagano, Japan. Interestingly, the border on the United States pin is red, as opposed to the black that borders each of the other nations' pins. Each pin features the Olympic rings and the official Nagano flower symbol, which symbol is itself formed by six different sport pictograms. The 1998 Olympic hockey tournament was the first time that professional hockey players were permitted to participate. The Czech Republic skated off with the gold medal in Nagano, followed by Russia and Finland who won silver and bronze, respectively.
