Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design on its reverse side, which depicts a portrait of Winston Churchill, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, surrounded by a pattern of leaves and branches. This design was created by the artist, David Rooney, and it is the first time that Churchill has been featured on a British coin. Additionally, the coin's silver piedfort format, which means it is made of sterling silver and has a proof finish, adds to its collectibility and numismatic value.
