Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design depicting Merlin, the legendary wizard and advisor to King Arthur, on the reverse side. The design shows Merlin standing on a rocky outcrop, surrounded by a forest, with a crescent moon and stars in the sky above. This design was created by the artist, John M. L. Mills, and is an imaginative interpretation of the legendary figure. The coin's design and theme make it a standout among other coins in the British Crown dependencies series.
