Comments

This coin was released as a joint collaboration between the Royal Australian Mint and the Perth Mint to celebrate the holding of the XXVII Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia in the year 2000. This is coin 21 in a set of 28 that depict all 28 sports held at the Sydney 2000 Olympics. Coins were all dated 2000 but were released between 1997 and 2000. Some were available separately and some were only available in a set of the full 28 coins in a special album. Interestingly some had the Maklouf Obverse and some had the Rank-Broadley Obverse.

Coin 21 represents Weightlifting - When incredible concentration, perfect balance and sheer strength arn't enough, sometimes the willpower of an entire auditorium full of enthralled spectators helps Olympic weightlifters do the seemingly impossible.

Full metal composition is (Cu 92%, Al 6%, Ni 2%).
