Material: It is a copper-nickel coin, weighing 2.84 grams and measuring 18.44mm in diameter. 
Reverse Design: The reverse side, as shown in the image, displays intertwined floral emblems of the United Kingdom: a rose (England), a thistle (Scotland), a shamrock (Northern Ireland), and a leek (Wales).
