Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an error in the design. The high jump athlete depicted on the coin is shown with a jumping technique that is not actually used in the high jump event. Instead of the athlete's body being parallel to the ground, as it should be in the high jump, the athlete is shown with their body at a 45-degree angle to the ground. This error was likely caused by a miscommunication between the designer and the mint, and it makes the coin a unique and interesting collector's item.
