Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing Elizabeth I, also known as the "Virgin Queen," wearing a hat and carrying a scepter, symbolizing her power and authority as the Queen of England. The design is based on a portrait of Elizabeth I painted by an unknown artist in the 16th century, which is now housed at Hatfield House, a historic palace in Hertfordshire, England. The coin's design is a nod to the rich history and cultural heritage of the British monarchy, and it is a rare and collectible item for coin enthusiasts.
