Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique design of Peter Rabbit, a beloved character from Beatrix Potter's children's books, on its reverse side. This design was created specifically for this coin by the Royal Mint and is not found on any other coin. Additionally, the coin's obverse side features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, making it a special collector's item for both coin enthusiasts and fans of Beatrix Potter's works.
