Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a colored image of Queen Elizabeth II, which is not common in coins. The coloration is achieved through a process called "pad printing," where ink is applied to the coin's surface using a soft, flat surface, creating a high-quality, detailed image. This process allows for intricate designs and colorful images to be featured on coins, making them stand out and increasing their collectibility.
