Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Podgy Pig 50p coin is that it features a unique design that was created by the Isle of Man-based designer, Luke Jerram. The coin's design showcases a playful, rotund pig, which is a nod to the Isle of Man's rich agricultural history and its reputation for producing high-quality pork products. The coin's design is also notable for its use of contrasting finishes, with the pig's body featuring a proof finish and the background featuring a matte finish. This creates a striking visual effect that really makes the coin stand out.
