Issued to coincide with the Tokyo 2020 Olympics — ultimately delayed to 2021 due to the pandemic — this piece was produced well before the games took place, leaving the Royal Australian Mint in the unusual position of having shipped a commemorative for an event that hadn't yet occurred. Australia's Olympic team had been selected and the coin authorized before the IOC's postponement announcement in March 2020.
