One of a six coin series of Great British Heroes in colourInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique colorized design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse, and a vibrant image of a Tristan da Cunha island scene on the reverse. The colorization process involves applying a special coating to the coin, which gives it a distinctive and eye-catching appearance. This feature sets the coin apart from other coins in the series and makes it a standout piece for collectors.
