Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 2002 Commonwealth Games, which were held in Manchester, England. The coin's design features a depiction of the Games' logo, along with the year and location of the event. The use of a silver piedfort, which is a type of coin that is struck multiple times to create a thicker and more detailed design, adds to the coin's unique character and collectibility.
