Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the centenary of the House of Windsor, which is the royal house of the United Kingdom. The House of Windsor was founded in 1917 by King George V, who changed the name of the royal family from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to Windsor, due to the anti-German sentiment during World War I. The coin features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and the Windsor Castle on the other.
