One of the most dazzling and sought after coins ever struck in Australia.
Sydney played host in September and October 2000 to the world's biggest sporting spectaculars, the Olympic Games, declared the best Games ever by IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch.
It's hardly surprising then that collectibles of the Sydney 2000 games were in extremely strong demand, many discerning collectors wanted an heirloom that was solid and officially-produced to pass onto future generations.
The Sydney 2000 Olympic coins have been the most enduring collectibles of the entire games, for these four reasons:
- Produced by the Australian government;
- Limited edition; Superb quality & presentation;
- Made from solid, pure Australian gold and silver.
- At the time of it's release, the Silver Kilo Olympic Masterpiece was the largest Olympic coin ever produced and the first Olympic coin to feature all the 28 sports of an Olympic Games.
As time has passed, this coin seems to have risen in popularity relative to the other Sydney Olympic coins, no doubt due to it's rarity and the fact that it has a solid kilo of silver in it.
The coin, case, outer shipper, and certificate are all included and remain in excellent condition.
