Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design depicting the HMS Discovery, a British ship that was used for scientific exploration and discovery in the early 20th century. The ship is shown sailing through icy waters, with a backdrop of snow-capped mountains and a sense of movement conveyed through the wake behind the ship. The design is meant to commemorate the centenary of the Discovery's voyage to the Antarctic, led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott, which took place from 1901 to 1904. The coin's design is the work of sculptor and engraver, Clive Madgwick.
