| Reverse description | Two boxers are depicted in vigorous combat at centre field, rendered in high relief against a mirrored proof background, with the ropes and corner post of a boxing ring clearly delineated behind them. The left figure advances with a straight left jab while the right figure counters, both athletes shown in shorts and boxing gloves in a dynamic, action-filled composition. The curved legend SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES arcs around the upper periphery. The date 1992 appears in large numerals along the lower field beneath the figures. |

| Additional information |
Jamaica had no realistic medal expectations at the 1992 Barcelona Games, but the issue coincided with the continued dominance of Jamaican sprinters who had been reshaping short-distance track events since the 1970s. Large-format silver pieces of this weight were a common Commonwealth issuer strategy in the early 1990s — the Bank of Jamaica released several such coins tied to international sporting events during this period, few of which saw meaningful secondary-market demand.
