Another gem of an article dug up from a newspaper or maybe too many hours web surfing is this.
A collection of twenty nine 50p coins each one featuring a design celebrating the 29 sports at the games. Can you believe there are only 29 actual sports? The designs used on each coin were chosen from contests open to the public.
The cycling coin was designed by 16 year old Theo Crutchley-Mack and bloody nice it is too.
He is interviewed here on the Royal Mint website: Theo Interview.
Here is the 'gymnastics' coin which also really stands out from the others.
More info and pictures of all the coins and more over at the Royal Mint.
