Interesting fact

The coin features a unique design element - a small image of a crown on the obverse side, which represents the crown of King Edward VII. This crown was added to the coin's design specifically to indicate that it was issued during the reign of King Edward VII, who ruled the United Kingdom from 1901 to 1910. This feature makes the coin a distinctive and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in coins from the British Empire.
