Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing the Thistle and Bluebell, which are both symbols of Scotland and England, respectively. This design was created to commemorate the 2014 Commonwealth Games, which were held in Glasgow, Scotland. The coin's design is a nod to the rich history and cultural heritage of the United Kingdom, and it serves as a reminder of the country's commitment to the Commonwealth and its values.
