Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique double portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, on its obverse side. This is a distinctive feature of the coin, as most coins typically only feature a single portrait of the monarch. The dual portrait design was created by sculptor and engraver, Raphael Maklouf, and it symbolizes the bond between the Queen and her son, who was still a prince at the time the coin was minted.
