Comments

In August 2016, Australia will unite to cheer on our sporting elite as they take centre stage in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

For 120 years Australian Olympians have inspired our nation with their journey towards excellence and this year the 2016 Australian Olympic Team will have the chance to become a part of this Olympic history.

As an official partner for the 2016 Australian Olympic Team, the Royal Australian Mint is proud to produce these inspirational commemorative coloured coins to capture the Olympic spirit for years to come. These coins will be distributed individually over 5 weeks by 2016 Australian Olympic Team Partner Woolworths into circulation as change given at checkouts.

The five coins were also available to be purchased in a five-coin uncirculated limited set. There were five different folders available to house the coins featuring cycling, Athletics, Volleyball, Kayaking, and Swimming.


Some sets had an internal Green background and some had an internal Yellow background.
