Sydney 2000 Olympics

To commemorate this special event, The Royal Australian and Perth Mints created several series of coins in gold and silver. Selections run the range of bullion coins crafted of beautiful rare metals to coins made of less expensive materials, but no less beautiful.
These selections include the legendary and award-winning Sydney 2000 Olympic Masterpiece. Struck from 99.9 percent pure silver, this coin features an intricate design centered around the Sydney 2000 logo. It features all 18 sports and at the time was the largest coin ever struck. The 2000 World Money Fair in Basel Switzerland declared it “Coin of the Year” for 2000.

The fantastic selection does not end here. Also minted in silver were the “Sea Change” and “Reaching the World” coins. These feature designs centering on the official Olympic logo.

In gold, The Royal Australian and Perth Mints fashioned a strikingly beautiful and poignant set of eight coins depicting the athlete’s journey toward developing the heart of a champion. Each set comes in a magnificent Jarrah case with only 30,000 sets created. Six of the coins feature coloured designs, the first official gold coins anywhere to carry them.
Finally, all coin collectors will enjoy checking out our collection of CuNi coins crafted for the Sydney Olympics. KJC offers 18 options for collectors who look to add to their Sydney 2000 collection of uncirculated commemorative coins.
