This coin comes in two types. Everything is the same for both designs EXCEPT for the image of the Olympic Logo in the central ring on the two reverses.
The first striking (this coin) carried the “Montreal Olympic Games” logo. That logo consists of 3 arches (meant to be representing the ”M” of ”Montreal“) which are immediately attached above the 5 Olympic Rings. That reverse is shown both in the 2018/2019 Edition of Schon as Schon#. 140.2, but is not shown in Krause.
After 100 pieces with the Montreal logo were struck, the mint realized that that logo was copyrighted. It then changed the symbol in the center ring on the reverse from the Montreal logo to a generic Olympic torch logo, which is correctly depicted in images in both Schon (140.1) and Krause (#16).
