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 held in London. The design depicts a swimmer in motion, with waves and ripples surrounding them, and the Olympic rings displayed prominently in the background. 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. The coin's design is not only visually striking but also symbolizes the spirit of competition and achievement that the Olympics represent.
