Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design of Father Christmas, which is not a common motif on coins. The design shows Father Christmas in a traditional red robe and white beard, holding a sack of toys and standing in front of a Christmas tree. This design was created specifically for this coin and is not found on any other coins. Additionally, the use of silver and the Piedfort minting technique adds to the coin's uniqueness and collectibility.
