Israel's delegation to the 2016 Rio Olympics was one of the country's largest ever sent to a Summer Games, and the swimming program had been building momentum since the federation's restructuring in the early 2000s. This coin was issued as part of a broader commemorative series tied to Israeli participation in Rio — each discipline receiving its own strike in a limited run through the Israel Coins and Medals Corporation.
The .999 fine silver specification places it among the purer issues in the ICMC catalog, which more commonly used .925 for commemorative strikes in earlier decades.
