Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, created by artist Joanna Drage, which showcases a majestic oak tree, symbolizing strength and resilience, surrounded by a pattern of 50 pence pieces, representing the coin's denomination. The design is particularly special as it was chosen through a public competition, where members of the public were invited to submit their designs, and the winning design was selected by a panel of experts. This process adds a touch of democracy and inclusivity to the coin's design, making it truly special and unique.
