| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a dynamic high-relief figure of a discus thrower in mid-release, rendered in a classical athletic style evoking the ancient Greek Discobolus. The athlete is shown in a powerful twisted pose, arm extended behind in preparation for the throw, set against a mirror-polished proof field. An arc to the left carries the Roman numeral and text 'XXVII. OLYMPIC' inscribed along the inner circle border, while 'GAMES SYDNEY 2000' curves along the upper right periphery, together commemorating the XXVII Olympiad held in Sydney, Australia. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Zambia's late-1990s commemorative program was among the most prolific and commercially aggressive on the continent, producing dozens of themed silver issues annually for the collector export market rather than domestic circulation. These pieces were struck under contract and sold wholesale to international distributors — the Bank of Zambia's involvement was largely nominal, a licensing arrangement that generated foreign currency revenue.
KM#109 is one of several Sydney Olympics issues Zambia released in 1999, a practice common among smaller nations with no athletic connection to the games whatsoever.
