Greece issued this coin to mark Athens' return of the Olympic Games in 2004 — the first time the Games had been held in their city of origin since 1896. The torch relay that year was notably the first to travel the Olympic flame to every continent before arriving in Athens, a logistical undertaking involving over 11,000 torchbearers across 78 days. Australia was one of the relay's most significant international stops, given Sydney had hosted the previous Games in 2000.
