Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique design of the Seymour Panther, a mythical creature that has been a part of British royal heraldry for centuries. The panther is depicted standing on its hind legs, holding a shield with the royal arms of the United Kingdom. This design was created by the artist, Sean Gill, and is the first time a non-circulating coin has featured this particular image.
