Comment

Pobjoy Mint Priority Collectors News, edition 1999:

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare portrait of King Charles II on the obverse, instead of the usual image of Queen Elizabeth II. This is because the coin was issued in 1999 to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the Restoration of the Monarchy, which took place in 1660 and saw Charles II return to the throne after a period of republican rule. The coin's design was created by sculptor and engraver, Raphael Maklouf, and it is considered a unique and collectible piece among numismatists.
