Triathlon coin designer Sarah Harvey

In a Royal Mint video interview with the Triathlon coin designer Sarah Harvey (click image above to view), asked why did you choose Triathlon for your design?, Sarah said: I just found it quite fascinating and I had it in my head when I was looking at the list of sporting activities and I had the three forms in my head and I just needed some kind of way of connecting them and I think that was perhaps the most challenging but kind of the most creative element of the design and the swimmer was the one I was most pleased with.
