| Additional information |
Australia's 1993 commemorative marks the centenary of the modern Olympic movement, which dated its origins to the 1896 Athens Games — though this coin appeared three years before Sydney won the 2000 bid and transformed Australian Olympic coinage into a minor industry. The Royal Australian Mint issued this as a proof-only release with strictly limited production, positioning it firmly outside circulation from the outset.
The .917 fineness is standard 22-karat crown gold, the same alloy used in British sovereigns for centuries.
