Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the College of Arms, which is the heraldic authority for the United Kingdom and its dependencies. The College of Arms was established in 1484, and the coin was issued in 1984 to mark the quincentenary of its founding. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the College of Arms, which includes a shield with the three lions of England, a lion passant gardant (walking lion) and a unicorn, surrounded by a wreath and topped with a crown. The coin's silver content and low mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and enthusiasts of British history and heraldry.
