Comment

In 2015 the textured fields for the obverse and reverse were introduced on the Bullion issues. Prior to this they were plain fields.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique textured design on its fields, which adds a distinctive touch to its appearance. The textured fields are created through a process called "matt finish," which gives the coin a slightly rougher surface than traditional coins. This design element not only adds visual interest but also helps to differentiate the coin from other coins in the series.
