GREAT WHITE SHARK & CORAL
A three year joint program the Royal Australian Mint and The Perth Mint struck sixteen different 99.9% pure silver five dollar proofs for the Sydney Olympics dated 2000. Each coin has the edge lettering GAMES OF THE XXVII OLYMPIAD.
Stuart Devlin's original concept description:
The great white shark enclosed by a lively border of various types of seaweed and coral found in the waters around Australia.
His comments on the final design:
'I used two images of the shark here one to represent its viciousness the other its elegance. The fins overlap the border to give a greater feeling of depth.' Outer case deteriorated as normal for age
