RAM – 2024 Australian Olympic Team $2 Coin Set

Description

Relive the excitement of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games with this vibrant, three-coin set crafted by the Royal Australian Mint in collaboration with the Australian Olympic Committee. The Paris Games marked a historic milestone as the first Olympics to feature an equal number of female and male athletes, who competed across 35 sports—including gymnastics, skateboarding, equestrian, water polo, athletics, and surfing. Australia proudly sent around 470 of its finest athletes to Paris, the second city to host the Olympic Games three times.

This set includes three coins, each adorned with a circular colored design showcasing Australian wattle. Each coin highlights a unique word tied to the Australian Olympic Committee’s values: ‘COMMUNITY’ and ‘OLYMPISM,’ alongside the spirited ‘ALLEZAUS.’ Inspired by the European sports chant ‘Allez’ (meaning ‘Let’s Go/Come On’), ‘AllezAUS’ became a rallying cry for Aussie fans. The ‘COMMUNITY’ coin displays the Australian Olympic Committee logo, while the ‘OLYMPISM’ coin features the beloved Parisian Boxing Kangaroo, BK, the team mascot reimagined with a stylish beret. The ‘ALLEZAUS’ coin showcases BK break dancing, celebrating the only new sport introduced at the 2024 Paris Games. Own a piece of history with this unforgettable collection!
