| Additional information |
Issued as part of the Royal Mint's London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games series, which ran across 29 sports and ultimately became the largest commemorative coin program in British history. The silver versions were struck alongside base-metal circulation counterparts, the latter of which actually entered pocket change — making the silver strikes a deliberate collector parallel rather than a standalone issue.
