| Additional information |
One of a large series of commemorative dollars and five-dollar pieces issued by the Royal Australian Mint for the Sydney 2000 Olympics, this coin belongs to a program that stretched across several years of pre-Games releases and sold heavily to collectors worldwide. The sheer volume produced across the full series kept secondary market premiums modest on most individual types.
