Interesting fact

The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 2000 Summer Olympics, which were held in Sydney, Australia. Despite being minted in 1998, the coin features the year 2000 on its design, which is a common practice in coin minting. This coin is a unique piece of numismatic history that not only honors a significant sporting event but also showcases the artistry and craftsmanship of Bosnian coin design.
