Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare portrait of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a ruby, which is not commonly seen on coins. The use of rubies in coinage is a nod to the rich history of gemstone-encrusted coins, and adds an extra layer of elegance and sophistication to the design.
