Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique design, the Three Graces, which represents the three goddesses of charm, beauty, and creativity from Greek mythology, namely Euphrosyne, Thalia, and Aglaea. This design was created by the artist, David Knapton, and it's the first time that the Three Graces have been featured on a British coin.
