Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design of Queen Elizabeth II, depicting her as a young nurse during World War II. This design was created to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Queen's accession to the throne and her service as a nurse in the British Red Cross during the war. The coin's design is particularly notable because it is a departure from the traditional depiction of the Queen in formal attire, and instead shows her in a more casual and personal setting. This coin is a rare and interesting collector's item for anyone interested in numismatics or the history of the British monarchy.
