One interesting fact about the coin is that it has a unique reverse design, featuring a portrait of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, to commemorate his 40th birthday. The design was created by sculptor and engraver, Jody Clark, who is known for his work on various coins and medals for the Royal Mint. The coin's design is particularly special because it includes a personal touch, with Prince William's name written in a bold, cursive script, adding a sense of elegance and sophistication to the overall design.
