Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a colorful design depicting the character of the Ugly Duckling from the famous fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen, which is unusual for a coin. The design was created by the Isle of Man-based sculptor and coin designer, Ian Rank-Broadley.
