I was having a look at the sports represented on each of the five coins trying to out what the are exactly. This is what I've come up with (any input appreciated):
Blue: synchronised swimming, tennis, gymnastics, sailing, soccer, shooting and weight-lifting
Black: sprinting, cycling, swimming, archery, wrestling and running
Red: basketball, equestrian, football, gymnastics, canoeing, golf and hammer-throw
Yellow: fencing, badminton, kayaking, volleyball, hockey and water polo
Green: tae kwon do, rowing, boxing, pentathalon, diving and handball
Seems to me you've got them all covered. In the 2016 Mini-Mint for August, it says
'featuring a stylised interpretation of 32 sporting disciplines'.
Oops, you've got Gymnastics twice. In both Blue & Red.
Back to the drawing board. :biggrin:
Judo on the blue?
Synchronised swimming - enough said :dash1:

According to one source I tracked down (although a coin site and not an AOC/sports-related site):
Blue: synchronised swimming, tennis, wrestling, sailing, soccer, shooting and weight-lifting
Black: athletics, cycling, swimming, archery, judo, triathlon
Red: basketball, equestrian, rugby sevens, gymnastics, canoe/kayak, golf and fencing
Yellow: table tennis, badminton, canoe/kayak sprint, volleyball, hockey and water polo
Green: tae kwon do, rowing, boxing, pentathalon, diving and handball
Seems to be a bit of a question mark on the canoe and kayak split so the more nautically minded may be able to distinguish the difference.

Ah yep, that first gymnastics being wrestling makes sense.
Re canoe/kayak I think kayaking is the one with the double-ended paddle.
Otherwise I was close but fencing and table tennis were very stylised I think.
Thanks Pedro!

Did you get this off Numista Pedro? .... If you did it was me who posted it up.
Cheers Mike
Hi Mike,
Yes, I think it was Numista where I finally tracked the info down. Well done to you :ok:
Pedro
The Canoe/Kayak Sprint is definitely the Yellow and the Canoe/Kayak Slalom on the Red.
On the last pages of the Collection pack are the images to help identify. Two visible paddles = Sprint, partially visible top paddle is Slalom.
Going back to the 2006 Melbourne Games 50c these were easy
Thanks for clarifying that planchetflaw :ok:
