Olympic Plates
Royal Copenhagen Olympic plates were published from 1972 until 1980. The motif of the first plate from 1972 shows the city of Munich, where the Olympics were held, while the Royal Copenhagen Olympic plate 1976 shows a more symbolic motif, as both an athlete, the world and the Olympic Rings are displayed. The five Olympic Rings symbolize the five continents Africa, Asia, Oceania, Europe and North and South America. The colors of the five rings symbolize the colors, of which at least one of them are represented in all flags of the world. The rings are thus symbolic of community.

The Olympics are held both as Summer Olympics and Winter Olympics depending on the sport. Summer Olympics is probably the most famous edition of the Games and therefore Royal Copenhagen, like Bing & Grondahl, mainly produced Olympic plates to mark the Summer Games. In fact, only Royal Copenhagen, has released a single Winter Olympic plate. This plate was issued in 1976 on the occasion of the Winter Olympics in Innsbruck.
