Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse side, while the reverse side depicts the HMS Sceptre, a British ship that was part of the fleet that accompanied Sir Francis Drake on his circumnavigation of the globe in the late 16th century. The coin's design is a nod to the rich maritime history of the British Isles and the significance of the HMS Sceptre in that history.
