| Reverse description | Two great white sharks depicted in dynamic relief, swimming amid a detailed border of coral formations that frames the entire field. The larger shark lunges forward with open jaws in the upper register, while a second shark curves beneath it, both rendered with fine sculptural detail against a mirror-polished background. The official Sydney 2000 Olympic Games logo, featuring the coloured five-ring emblem in pad-printed enamel, appears at the lower centre within a triangular cartouche bearing the inscription SYDNEY 2000. The Canberra mint mark C is incuse at the lower left of the field. |
