| Reverse description | Central design depicts a stylized Olympic torch with a multicolor polychrome flame in red, orange, and yellow rising from a cylindrical basket-style torch body, flanked on either side by two silver-relief athletic figures — a gymnast to the left and a diver to the right — both rendered in dynamic poses and converging toward the flame. The lower field features applied blue and light-blue color panels evoking water and sky. The date 1998 appears in the exergue below the torch, and the legend XXVII OLYMPIAD · SYDNEY 2000 arcs along the upper periphery. |
