Interesting fact

The interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique dragon design on the reverse side, which is a departure from the traditional effigy of Queen Elizabeth II that is commonly found on coins featuring her likeness. The dragon is depicted in a dynamic pose, with its wings spread wide and a fiery breath emerging from its mouth. This design was created by the artist, Simon Atkinson, and it adds a touch of mythical flair to the coin.
