Sanhen nice pictures man!!! :okay:

I agree PON is held outside JKT, this way other provinces feel involved in the game itself and may prepare their athletes better than when PON is always in JKT

Koin PON XVI Laku Keras

Jakarta, 3 September 2004 19:06
Koin peringatan PON XVI/2004 yang dicetak terbatas sebanyak 4.999 set ternyata banyak diburu para kolektor luar negeri. hanya dalam waktu saru bulan sejak diluncurkan awal Agustus lalu oleh Gold Quest International Ltd sekitar 90 persen telah terjual.

Wita Dahlan , Corporate Affairs Manager PT Gold Quest dalam siaran persnya yang diterima ANTARA di Jakarta, Jumat mengatakan, koin numismatic yang dicetak di Jerman dan ditawarkan melalui internet seharga 530 dolar AS itu terjual laris sebanyak 4.064 set.

Sekitar 3700 set dibeli para penggemar koin di luar negeri , sisanya dipesan kolektor Indonesia . Dalam masa promosi koin-koin seberat 31 gram dan terbuat dari perak murni itu ditawarkan seharga 490 dolar AS.

Diduga selain standard mutu yang tinggi latar belakang penerbitan koin numismatik tersebut juga bisa menjadi pendorong para kolektor asing untuk memiliki.

Misalnya kenyataan menarik, ini merupakan koin pertama yang diterbitkan dalam sejarah PON, sementara Sumsel sendiri merupakan PON ketiga diluar Jawa setelah Medan dan Makassar dan merupakan PON dengan jumlah peserta terbesar.

"Setelah bekerjasama dengan istitusi internasional seperti Komite Olimpiade dan FIFA, kami merasa bangga dapat ikut serta dalam peristiwa olahraga nasional di Indonesia seperti ini dan sangat menghargai kerjasama dengan PB PON XVI," kata Wita.

Menurut Wita, set koin tersebut satu buah menggambar logo PON XVI berlapis emas sedangkan empat lainnya menampilkan Rimau dengan empat cabang popular dan khas Sumsel yaitu pencak silat, layar , bulutangkis dan bridge.

Pada acara Welcome Party sekaligus Musi Tour sehari menjelang pembukaan PON, gunbernur Sumsel, Ir Syahrial Oesman memberikan koin PON ini sebagai cindramata kepada gubernur seluruh Indonesia yang secara simbolik diterima Ketua KONI Pusat, bapak Agum Gumelar.
