| Additional information |
One of thirty-two individual coins in the Royal Australian Mint's Sydney 2000 Olympic series, this issue was produced using pad printing — a technique borrowed from industrial ceramics and watchmaking — to apply colour directly onto the struck silver surface. The RAM deployed it here at unusual scale, making this among the earliest large-format national mint programs globally to use the process on legal tender coinage.
