Cyprus 1 pound Torch Runner Sydney Olympic Games PF69 NGC silver coin 2000

Cyprus 1 Pound 2000, Republic of Cyprus, Sydney Olympic Games series, featuring the Torch Runner – a powerful symbol of continuity, peace, and the Olympic flame. Struck in silver and certified PF69 by NGC, this proof issue combines brilliant mirrored fields with refined frosted relief, highlighting the dynamic composition.

The obverse depicts a muscular athlete running forward while holding a flaming Olympic torch high above his head. His defined arms, bent leg, and forward stride create a vivid sense of motion. Beneath him, horizontal engraved lines suggest ground and movement, while the Olympic rings dominate the lower field. In the background rises the unmistakable silhouette of the Sydney Opera House, accompanied by the inscription “Sydney 2000” and the large £1 denomination. The reverse presents the coat of arms of Cyprus: a shield bearing a dove with outstretched wings holding an olive branch, the date 1960 below, framed by symmetrical laurel branches tied with a ribbon. The inscriptions “KYPROS • KIBRIS” and the year 2000 encircle the rim.

Graded PF69 by NGC, this silver commemorative coin is a near-perfect example celebrating the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. A superb addition for Olympic, sports, and world silver coin collectors.
