Comment
This was the United Kingdom's first 1kg coin, requiring a new act of parliament and legislation in order to authorise its production. The amendment in the legislation removed the upper limit of weight of a UK coin. It was also the first coin to have a face value of £500.Issue limit: 2,012
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 2012 London Olympics and features a unique design depicting various Olympic sports and the London skyline on the reverse side, while the obverse side features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
