Specifically, it authorises a $30 silver coin weighing exactly 1 kilogram (with a tiny allowable weight variation). The Determination details the coin's physical properties—it's circular, 101mm in diameter, 14.6mm thick, with a plain edge bearing specific Olympic inscriptions. The design features Queen Elizabeth II on the front (obverse) and Olympic athletes with the Sydney 2000 logo on the back (reverse). This instrument operates under the Currency Act 1965, which gives the Minister power to specify what constitutes legal tender in Australia.
