One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reversible design, meaning that the coin has two distinct sides that can be considered the front or back of the coin, depending on how it is oriented. This design was created by the Falkland Islands' coin designer, Jonathan Ollivier, and it showcases the island's rich wildlife, with one side featuring a penguin and the other side featuring a sea lion. This innovative design adds an extra layer of interest and collectibility to the coin, making it a standout piece in the world of numismatics.
