Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1994 Scottish Lion Silver Proof £1 coin is that it features a unique design on the reverse side, showcasing a majestic lion surrounded by the Royal Arms of Scotland. This design was created by artist Leslie Durbin and was specifically commissioned for this coin. The lion is depicted in a regal pose, with its mane and tail rendered in intricate detail, while the surrounding text reads "Scotland" in bold letters. This design element serves as a nod to the rich history and culture of Scotland, and adds to the coin's collectibility and numismatic value.
