| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dynamic full-figure athlete in motion against a diagonally hatched background suggestive of speed and movement, representing the theme of dedication in Olympic sport. Surrounding the central figure is a decorative border of twelve numbered rectangular tablets (heart motifs incorporated, numbered 120 through 131), separated by geometric ornamental devices. To the right of centre, the cursive legend Sydney 2000 appears alongside the five interlocked Olympic rings. The word DEDICATION is inscribed along the lower rim, and the Perth Mint's P mintmark appears at the bottom of the inner field. |

| Additional information |
Issued by the Perth Mint to coincide with the Sydney 2000 Games, this was part of a broader Australian commemorative program that flooded the collector market in the lead-up to the Olympics — the Mint produced an extraordinary volume of gold and silver issues across multiple denominations during this period. KM#373 sits at the modest end of that output by weight, targeting mid-tier collectors rather than the institutional buyers chasing the larger kilo pieces.
Perth's .999 fine standard, rather than the more common .9167 used in bullion sovereigns, was a deliberate choice to emphasize purity credentials in the Asian collector markets that were the primary export target.
