Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing Peter Rabbit, a beloved character from Beatrix Potter's children's books, on the reverse side. This design was created specifically for the coin by the artist, Emma Noble, and it's a rare example of a platinum coin with a non-traditional design.
