| Additional information |
Dawn Fraser remains the only swimmer in history to win gold in the same individual event at three consecutive Olympics — the 100 metres freestyle in 1956, 1960, and 1964. The 1964 Tokyo Games ended badly: Fraser was suspended for ten years by Swimming Australia, partly for marching in the opening ceremony without official sanction and partly for an incident involving a stolen flag outside the Imperial Palace. The ban was later reduced, but she never competed at an elite level again.
The Royal Australian Mint issued this coin as part of its ongoing Famous Australians series, with the frosted cameo finish achieved through repeated sandblasting of working dies.
