This amazing coin portraits the skyline of Manhattan is one of the most iconic in the world. Edition of our successful «Big City Lights» series, we honour the Australian metropole, Sydney. Over 5 million Sydneysiders, as the city's residents are referred to, spend their days and nights in Australia's largest city.
Besides the incredible coastline and iconic Bondi Beach, a world-famous landmark earns a special spot on our coin - the Sydney Opera House. Not to be overlooked is the sheer size of the opera house. At 185 metres long and 120 metres wide, it has roof sections weighing up to 15 tonnes and more than a million tiles on its dazzling roof.
