| Obverse description | Central vignette of Baron Pierre de Coubertin (1863–1937), founder of the modern Olympic Games, set against a detailed underprint incorporating the Eiffel Tower to the right and an antique column to the left, evoking Paris and the Greek origins of the Games respectively. Surrounding the portrait, a stylized representation of the Olympic Flame itinerary lists all 67 relay cities, noting the torch's maritime passage aboard the Belem from Athens to Marseille. Denominations and issuer legends appear in both numeral and text form at the corners and lower margins. |

| Comments |
The Banco de Kamberra is a private fantasy note issuer, not a sovereign central bank — "Kamberra" has no internationally recognized existence as a state, and the "Numisma" denomination carries no legal tender status anywhere. These are produced for the collector novelty market, occasionally marketed under the framing of "artistic currency." The Paris 2024 hook and the Coubertin association are commercial choices, not acts of monetary policy.
Franck Medina is a French designer with documented work in the banknote and commemorative print space. The watermark security feature on a non-circulating fantasy note is essentially decorative.
