Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing a young Queen Elizabeth II, who was only a child at the time, on the obverse side, while the reverse side features the standard effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as an adult. This design choice was made to commemorate the Queen's early life and her ascension to the throne.
