Date of issue 17.07.2003

The reverse design uses a photo of Yanina Provalinskaya-Korolchik, the champion of XXVII Olympic Games in Sydney in 2000 in a shot put. Interestingly, on June 15, 2003, in Dortmund, Germany, a doping test was taken from an athlete, which revealed the content of the banned drug in her body. It led to 2 years disqualification, thus Yanina missed the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.
