| Additional information |
Issued to mark Australian athlete support for the Paris 2024 Games, this coin belongs to a broader Royal Australian Mint release program that included multiple slogans and sport-specific designs under the "Allez Aus" campaign — the phrase borrowed from French encouragement, adapted as an Australianism for the occasion. The pad-printing process, applied over the struck aluminium bronze blank, is a relatively recent addition to the RAM's circulating commemorative toolkit and remains susceptible to wear far faster than the substrate beneath it.
