Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design of Britannia, the personification of Great Britain, on the reverse side. The design depicts Britannia standing on the shore, looking out towards the sea, with a trident in her right hand and a shield bearing the Union Jack in her left. This design was created by the artist, Ian Rank-Broadley, and is exclusive to this coin.
