Wrestling: Roderick Enriquez

Why did you choose Wrestling for your design?

I chose to design the wrestling 50p coin because it's such a well-respected, historical sport, which represents both the modern and ancient Olympic Games.

How does it feel to know your coin is going to be in the pockets of millions of people for years to come?

I simply cannot believe it as I know there were thousands upon thousands of entries submitted to this competition! I’m so delighted to have won, especially as a Filipino-British national. As that’s what I believe London 2012 should be, hosted by people from many cultural backgrounds!
