Design by: Ruth Summerfield
In a Royal Mint video interview with the Fencing coin designer Ruth Summerfield (click image above to view), asked what was the inspiration behind your idea?, Ruth said: I don’t play any sport myself but I have a friend who fences and which gave me the initial idea and I tried to pick a sport where the body makes interesting and dramatic shapes as I thought it would translate well onto a coin.
