Rowing is the only sport where Team GB have won a gold at every Summer Olympic games since 1984. Podmore chose rowing as it is his favourite Olympic sport to watch and added words to his design to show off his graphic design and typography skills. David Podmore's rowing design was chosen from 30,000 public submissions as one of twenty-nine that make up the commemorative Olympic collection. This UK Coin was issued by the Royal Mint as part of a collection celebrating the then upcoming 2012 Summer Olympics hosted in London.
