One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by New Zealand artist, Kaitlyn Pihema. The portrait is the fourth different depiction of the Queen to appear on New Zealand's coinage, and it was created specifically for this commemorative issue. The design is meant to reflect the Queen's role as the symbol of unity and stability for the Commonwealth, and it features a distinctive Maori design element, known as a "koru," which represents new life and growth.
