Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Princess Diana, who was a beloved member of the British royal family, on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) features a depiction of the Queen Elizabeth II. This coin was issued as a tribute to Princess Diana, who passed away in 1997, and the gold plating on the copper-nickel coin gives it a luxurious and commemorative feel.
