Team GB Olympic and Paralympic athletes are being honoured on a new Royal Mint 50p coin design - which each competitor will receive as a 'good luck token' ahead of the Paris Games. The collectable coins feature an Olympic and Paralympic athlete side by side against a backdrop of the Union Flag.
'To also have a coin coming with us is incredible,' she said. 'Seeing the process makes it even more special, knowing the work that goes into it and seeing it in real life is amazing.' Six-time Paralympic medal winner Bayley, who previously appeared on Strictly Come Dancing, said having the Paralympics GB team represented on the coin made him 'feel special'.
