Description:
The platypus, one of Australia’s unique creatures, is the central feature of the reverse sticking its head out of the water creating concentric water ripples. The platypus is the inspiration for Syd, one of the three Olympic Games Mascots. A border of Australian water lilies surrounds the design. With violet flowers and broad flat leaves, these plants create a spectacular sight in tropical Australian wetlands. The Sydney 2000 colored logo (hosted city rises above the five colored Olympic rings) at the bottom on a triangle-shape banner and the 'C' Royal Australian Mint, Canberra just above.
