This is one of the first pair of silver olympic coins issued for Sydney 2000.

Sydney played host in September and October 2000 to the world's biggest sporting spectaculars, the Olympic Games, declared "the best Games ever" by IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch.

It's hardly surprising then that collectibles of the Sydney 2000 games were in extremely strong demand, many discerning collectors wanted an heirloom that was solid and officially-produced to pass onto future generations.

The Sydney 2000 Olympic coins have been the most enduring collectibles of the entire games, for these four reasons:

Produced by the Australian government;

Limited edition;

Superb quality & presentation;

Made from solid and pure Australian gold and silver.

This particular coin is the first in the flora and fauna series, and features the "Kangaroo & Grasstrees" design.

The coins, case, outer shipper and certificate are all included and remain in excellent condition.
