| Additional information |
Bermuda had no athletes competing under its own flag in Atlanta in 1996 — the island participates as a British Overseas Territory with its own Olympic committee, but its team was small and largely unheralded. The Bermuda Monetary Authority issued several commemorative pieces tied to the Atlanta Games nonetheless, part of a broader wave of licensed Olympic coinage produced by dozens of nations with minimal direct connection to the event.
KM#105 is one of multiple Atlanta-related issues from Bermuda that year, each sold primarily to the collector market rather than circulated.
