| Reverse description | The colorfully enameled reverse features the word 'GAMES' rendered in large, stylized letters, each filled with one of the five Olympic ring colors — blue, yellow, black, green, and red — with the Sydney Opera House depicted in the central field against a blue enameled background, evoking the 2000 Sydney Olympics. The legend 'OLYMPICS' arcs along the upper border in raised Latin letters. The denomination '500 WON' is inscribed below the central design, flanked by the dates '1996' at the left and '2000' at the right. Along the lower border, the inscription 'FROM ATLANTA TO SYDNEY' commemorates the transition from the 1996 Atlanta Games to the 2000 Sydney Games. |
