Angola 100 kwanzas Sydney Olympics KM-94 Sports PR 69 PCGS silver coin 1999

The Angola 100 kwanzas silver coin of 1999 was issued to commemorate the XXVII Summer Olympic Games held in Sydney, celebrating the global spirit of sport, unity, and peace. Released by the Republic of Angola, this coin reflects the country’s participation in one of the most significant international sporting events of the modern era. The theme combines sports history with national symbolism and classical imagery inspired by Olympic traditions.

The reverse presents a powerful allegorical composition. At the center stands a classical female figure symbolizing victory, dressed in flowing robes and raising her arms high. In one hand she holds a laurel wreath, while the other lifts a palm branch, both ancient symbols of triumph. To the right is an Olympic torch resting on a fluted column, topped with a stylized flame and the date “2000.” To the left appears a circular emblem featuring the Sydney Opera House with the inscription “Sydney XXVII Olympiad.” The denomination “100 Kwanza” is clearly engraved below. Decorative plant elements and fine sculptural details enhance the dynamic scene.

The obverse displays the coat of arms of the Republic of Angola, featuring a half gear wheel, agricultural wreath, rising sun rays, a central star, and an open book with crossed tools above it. Surrounding inscriptions read “Republica de Angola,” with the year “1999” below and a ribbon bearing the country’s name.

Struck in proof silver and certified PCGS PR69, this Olympic commemorative coin offers artistic elegance, historical meaning, and strong appeal for collectors of sports and world numismatics.
