Design by: Natasha Ratcliffe
In a Royal Mint video interview with the Handball coin designer Natasha Ratcliffe (click image above to view), asked why did you choose handball for your design?, Natasha said: I’ve never played handball but when I’ve watched it people are jumping around and their arms are always high with so much action, they are always off the ground and it reminded me of sponge ball games when you are a kid, hurling balls at each other, very dynamic and I wanted to get that on the coin.
