Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of the Black Prince, a legendary figure from English history, on the other. The coin's design is particularly notable because it was created by the Tristan da Cunha government's numismatic artist, who is known for his intricate and detailed designs. The coin's gold plating and copper-nickel composition also add to its value and collectibility.
