Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique silhouette design of Queen Elizabeth II, which is the first portrait of Her Majesty to be featured on a coin. This design was created by the artist, Timothy Noad, and it showcases the Queen's profile in a sleek and modern way, while still maintaining the traditional elements of a royal portrait. The use of gold plating on copper-nickel gives the coin a luxurious look and feel, making it a special addition to any coin collection.
