Notes:

This coin was part of a 10 coin Australian Themes and Landmarks Privy Mark set released by the Perth Mint in 1999 and 2000.

Capital of New South Wales and the largest city in the most populated State, Sydney has truly become Australia's international city. A city for international business, tourism, sporting events and, recently, international movie production. Sydney is a bustling city that can seduce a visitor with its energy. Located on one of the most beautiful natural harbours in the world, Sydney has taken full advantage of its scenic location and developed around the water's edge. The privy mark design depicts two of the most famous landmarks that dominate its harbour, the Sydney Harbour Bridge, which links the main city with North Sydney, and the Sydney Opera House, renowned for its unmistakable shell-shaped roof. On the harbour can be seen one of the many ferries which constantly criss-cross Sydney's waters carrying commuters and tourists.
