Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique swimming-themed design on the reverse side, which was created to commemorate the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

This design was created by the Isle of Man-based designer, Ian Rank-Broadley, who is known for his work on various coins and medals.
