São Tomé e Príncipe issued this piece three years ahead of the Atlanta Games — not unusual for small-nation Olympic programs, which typically license commemorative series well in advance through third-party distributors rather than any direct connection to the host committee. The island nation sent athletes to Atlanta in 1996, though its Olympic participation has been intermittent since first competing at Los Angeles in 1984.
