| Additional information |
Issued to mark Australia's participation in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, this coin was produced using pad printing — a process the Royal Australian Mint adopted to apply multicolor designs onto circulation-quality coins without the cost of precious metal or proof production. The technique transfers ink from a silicone pad onto the coin's surface, allowing color detail that conventional die striking cannot achieve.
