Comment
Similar to coin dated 2010 but 2012 version has silver highlights on reverseInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation, which took place on June 2, 1953. The coin's design features an image of the Queen on the obverse side, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Tristan da Cunha island, where the coin was minted. The use of gold plating on a copper-nickel base gives the coin a distinctive look and adds to its collectibility.
