I have a English 1982 20 pence coin where the lettering and centre areas are painted(?) red. Anyone know why?

PS: it does look professionally done.

Maybe it has been enamelled. People do that sometimes to make them into necklaces. Maybe on an 18th birthday give a necklace with a coin from the year of birth.
