Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the Team GB Olympics, specifically the 2016 Summer Olympics held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The coin's design features a unique interpretation of the Olympic rings, incorporating the Union Jack flag to represent the United Kingdom. Additionally, the coin's silver composition and piedfort minting process, which involves striking the coin multiple times to create a thicker and more detailed design, make it a highly sought-after collector's item.
