Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1994 Scottish Lion Silver Piedfort coin is that it features a unique design on its reverse side, showcasing a majestic lion standing on a rocky outcrop, surrounded by a scenic background of the Scottish Highlands. The design was created by artist Robert H. M. Ballantine and is not found on any other coin in the series. This coin is a sought-after collector's item, not only for its unique design but also for its limited mintage of only 25,000 coins.
