The legend ELIZABETH II arcs above, with AUSTRALIA and the date 2000 inscribed below, accompanied by the designer's initials RDM in the lower field. The portrait, modelled by Raphael David Maklouf, presents the Queen in a refined and stately manner characteristic of Commonwealth coinage of the period. |

| Additional information |
One of a wave of commemorative five-dollar pieces issued by the Royal Australian Mint for the Sydney 2000 Olympics, this coin belongs to a series that ultimately ran to dozens of sport-specific releases — enough that collector fatigue set in well before the Games opened. Mintages were high and secondary market demand cooled quickly, leaving the series a fixture of bulk lots rather than focused collections.
