Comment
Third and final in a series of 3 bullion issues, the others being Robin Hood and Maid Marian. Also issued in silver bullionInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique design of Little John, a character from the legend of Robin Hood, on its reverse side. This design is a departure from the traditional depiction of Elizabeth II on British coins, and was created by artist and designer, Jody Clark. The use of Little John's image on the coin is a nod to the rich history and folklore of the United Kingdom, and adds an element of fun and excitement to the coin's design.
