Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique design of the Seymour Unicorn, which is a mythical creature that has been associated with the British monarchy for centuries. The unicorn is depicted on the coin in a majestic pose, with its horn and mane gleaming in the light. The use of a unicorn on the coin is a nod to the rich history and tradition of the British monarchy, and it adds an element of fantasy and wonder to the design.
