| Reverse description | The reverse features a dynamic circular composition of stylised athlete silhouettes representing various Olympic sports — including swimming, cycling, running, and field events — radiating outward around a central medallion. The central medallion depicts a kangaroo and emu flanking a Commonwealth Star, above the five interlocked Olympic rings, all within a pad-printed yellow annular band. The legend '2016 AUSTRALIAN OLYMPIC TEAM' arcs along the upper field, while the denomination 'TWO DOLLARS' is inscribed along the lower field, flanked by decorative dots. |
