Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique swimming design on the reverse side, showcasing Queen Elizabeth II in a swimming pose, which is not a common depiction of the monarch. This design was created by the artist and sculptor, Ian Rank-Broadley, and it adds a touch of playfulness and dynamism to the coin's design.
