Product Description
TWO DANCING FIGURES IN DREAM CIRCLE – 2000 SYDNEY OLYMPICS – 1 oz Pure Silver Proof Coin – Perth Mint
The silver coins depict the wider role of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games as a symbol of peace and cultural harmony, and the uniqueness of Australia’s environment. The Sydney 2000 Olympic Silver Coin Collection consists of 16 proof quality coins that have been released two at a time between October 1997 and February 2000.
One coin in each release reflects the coming together of peoples and ideas in our culturally diverse nation, as expressed in the four great festivals being celebrated in Sydney leading up to the Olympic Games. The other coin highlights the environmental richness of the Australian continent. Each coin bears the mintmark of the Mint producing the coin.
The 2000 Olympic Silver set comprises sixteen coins struck in 99.9% pure silver. These coins were designed to represent both Australia’s cultural history and environment.
Design
- The figures in the centre of the design depict two people. The circle around them represents their dreams, the smaller dots their family and friends. The waves symbolise the obstacles they must overcome, while the stars symbolise the notion that the sky is the limit to accomplishment if dreams are backed by dedication.
- A variety of Australian sea-life – reef fish, stingrays, crocodiles, sea snakes and turtles – make up the elaborate border, together with the Millennium Athlete of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games logo.
