2004 Sydney to Athens Olympic Gold, Silver & Bronze Three Coin Set
Description
The Mint has released a limited three coin set containing a tri-metal coin which is exclusive to the set.
The other two coins are the silver $5 Proof coin and the $5 Unc bronze coin which are available individually. The copper outer host ring supports the fine silver ring with the centre focal point being 24 carat gold.
The gold forms the platform for the hologram of the Australian Olympic Team Logo. The design brings together the antiquity of the games and two cultures with two entwined branches. A branch of laurel, representing the Ancient and modern games, and a branch of Australian wattle have been intricately incorporated on the reverse.
The fine and renowned quality of the coins is complimented in a superbly crafted Australian Sheoak timber presentation case. Gold embossed details on the timber case include the Australian Coat of Arms and the Australian Olympic Committee logo.
The collection is completed with a descriptive book and numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
All coins are dated 2004.
The exclusive offering of the proof coin featuring precious metals and a hologram is complimented by the very limited number released.
The mintage of the three coin set is only 2,500.
