| Beschrijving keerzijde | A circular gold inlay occupies the central field of the reverse, bearing a dynamic relief figure of a 100-metre sprinter in full stride, rendered in the 0.917 gold insert. The surrounding silver field is decorated with stylized floral or petal-shaped ornamental panels arranged symmetrically around the central inlay. The legend 'XXVII JOCS OLIMPICS 2000' is inscribed along the upper periphery in Latin script, commemorating the XXVII Summer Olympic Games held in Sydney in 2000. The overall composition effectively contrasts the warm gold of the inlay against the bright silver surround. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Andorra has no mint of its own; this piece was almost certainly struck under contract, as virtually all Andorran commemorative coinage has been since the principality began issuing coins in the 1980s. The Sydney 2000 Games prompted a wave of licensed commemorative issues from small sovereign and semi-sovereign territories, and Andorra — whose co-princes are the Bishop of Urgell and the President of France — was among the more unusual participants in that market.
The bimetallic gold inlay construction was a fashionable technique among European mints in the late 1990s, used to justify premium pricing on commemorative issues without committing to a full gold coin.
