Coins & Medallions2000
The Royal Australian and Perth Mints will offer
a series of coins and a medallion designed
especially for this important sporting event.
They are available until 31 December 2000.
The reverse of each coin will carry the
Paralympic Organising Committee’s logo in
colour. The obverse will carry the Ian Rank
Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth (the effigy
currently used on Australian currency).
As well as helping to fund the event, royalties
will be used to offset the cost of the design and
production of the victory medals.
There are three coins in the program, one
gold, one silver and one bright aluminium
bronze, the specifications the same as those for
the Olympic Coin Program.
Commemorative Medallion Set
The medallions in this set of three are miniature
versions of the Sydney 2000 Paralympic Games
victory medals, designed by Stuart Devlin.
