Comment
coin available in individual rubberized case with description sheet and acrylic protection. Case wrapped in thick paper clip with holography for official material of the Olympic GamesInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that combines two different themes: cycling and porpoises. The obverse side of the coin depicts a cyclist in motion, while the reverse side features a pair of porpoises swimming together. This unusual combination was designed to highlight the connection between the Olympic Games, which are a celebration of human athleticism, and the natural world, which is home to many fascinating and elegant creatures like the porpoise.
