Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). The coin's reverse side depicts a lifeboat crew member standing on the bow of a lifeboat, with the Queen Elizabeth II and Roy Barker I (a former RNLI chairman) depicted on the obverse side. The coin's design is the work of artist and sculptor, Robert Elderton.
