Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that combines two beloved characters from children's literature: the Gruffalo and the Mouse, created by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. The coin's design showcases the characters in a playful scene, with the Gruffalo towering over the Mouse, who is perched on a tree branch. The design is a delightful tribute to the popular children's book and adds a touch of whimsy to the coin.
