One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique design, the Lion of England, which is a symbol of strength, courage, and royalty. The lion is depicted standing on its hind legs, with its front paws resting on a shield, and its head turned to the side, as if looking towards the future. This design is a nod to the rich history and heritage of the United Kingdom, and the platinum material used in the coin adds to its luxurious and high-end feel.
