In the future, please crop your photos as per posting instructions.
To answer your question, the illustration is printed on and can easily be chemically removed.
Also coins are struck or minted. Banknotes are printed.

For those unaware, the original series of coins this coin came from had most of the design pad-printed (or painted on) by the mint. The entire reverse design, except for the words "ten pence", are painted on. Here's an example from Numista, with a wren: https://en.numista.com/321081

I always have an issue with declaring "missing ink" coins to be mint errors, simply because it's really easy to create a "missing ink" coin just by soaking a perfectly normal painted coin in acetone or some similar solvent to dissolve the paint away. It would look exactly the same.

Get a few photos of yourself printed out, glue them on and spend them or give to friends. That's what I would do if over in the UK.

Humm you know I'll be vacationing there next year.
