| Additional information |
Released as part of the Royal Australian Mint's coloured circulation program tied to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, this piece is one of several themed $2 issues distributed through general circulation rather than collector packaging — a deliberate choice by the RAM to push commemorative coins into everyday commerce. Australia has no athletes' village on the Seine, but the mint's long-standing practice of colour-printing on aluminium bronze blanks via pad printing allows it to produce eye-catching circulation pieces at scale without a dedicated collector premium.
