| Additional information |
The Sydney 2000 Olympic series was one of the most ambitious commemorative programs the Royal Australian Mint had undertaken, ultimately spanning dozens of releases across multiple years leading up to the Games. This particular issue is notable for its pad-printed color application — a process the RAM adopted aggressively in the late 1990s when colored coin technology was still novel enough to function as a genuine selling point rather than routine production practice.
