Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, specifically tailored to represent her association with the island of Tasmania. This design was created by sculptor and coin designer, Raphael Maklouf, and is not found on any other coin in the British Crown dependencies series.
