The 1983 Olympics Commemorative Silver Dollar was issued to celebrate the 1984 Olympic Games held in Los Angeles, California. Notably, this coin was the first commemorative silver dollar produced since 1900.

The obverse of the coin depicts a discus thrower, inspired by the work of Myron. The reverse depicts an eagle in profile. The coin was designed by Elizabeth Jones, the Chief Sculptor and Engraver of the United States Mint at the time.

The obverse inscriptions read "Los Angeles", "XXIII Olympiad", "In God We Trust", "Liberty" and the date "1983". The reverse inscriptions include "United Sates of America", "E Pluribus Unum", and the denomination "One Dollar".

The 1983 Olympic Silver Dollar was struck at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints. This included uncirculated versions from all three mints and a proof version from San Francisco. The proof version and the uncirculated version were available individually. The uncirculated versions from Denver and San Francisco were available only as part of a three coin uncirculated coin set.
