Notes:

This coin was issued at the Olymphilex 2000 Sports Stamp, Coin and Memorabilia Expo which was held in Sydney and Canberra to coincide with the hosting of the Olympic Games during September, 2000. A similar coin with a SYDNEY edge inscription was also issued at the Expo.

The coin was housed, semi-sealed in a see-both-sides, colour, cardboard folder.


The coin (or its Sydney equivalent) was also included in 1,000 privately issued 1999-2000 Millennium Coin & Medal Collections and in unofficial 1984-2001 21-Coin One Dollar Commemorative Sets issued by various Australian coin dealers.
