Image of your coin does not display for me.

According to The Royal Mint:
http://www.royalmint.com/Corporate/...g_coins.aspx

Sporting series
2011 Archery 800,000
Badminton 900,000
Boccia 900,000
Boxing 800,000
Canoeing 800,000
Cycling 400,000
Fencing 1,000,000
Goalball 900,000
Gymnastics 900,000
High Jump 900,000
Hockey 1,000,000
Rowing 700,000
Swimming 1,000,000
Table tennis 1,000,000
Triathlon 1,000,000
Volleyball 1,000,000

So the only difference is what two are called.

Aquatics --> Swimming
Athletics (Kid Designed) --> High Jump
