Housed in an exclusive presentation case

Mintage: 3,000

This set was the most exclusive collectable of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.

Sydney played host in September and October 2000 to the world's biggest sporting spectacular - the Summer Olympic Games. The event was declared "the best Games ever" by IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch.

Demand for collectables commemorating the Sydney 2000 games was incredibly high, not only in Australia but right around the world. Many collectors wanted an heirloom of the event that was solid and officially-produced to pass onto future generations.

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

1. They were produced by the Australian government;
2. They were truly limited edition;
3. They featured superb quality & presentation; and
4. They were made from solid, pure Australian gold and silver.

Australia's Premier Olympic and Millennium Memento

When it was unveiled, the joint press release issued by the Perth and Royal Australian Mints stated: "The Millennium Coin Collection, of which only 3,000 will be made available worldwide, brings together all eight gold and sixteen silver coins of the Sydney 2000 Coin Program in one spectacular set. It is Australia's premier Olympic and Millennium memento and will delight both Olympic collectors and non-collectors alike for generations to come."
