Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of two different portraits on its obverse side. The coin's design includes a portrait of King Henry VIII, who ruled England from 1509 to 1547, and a portrait of Princess Elizabeth, who later became Queen Elizabeth II, in a double-portrait design. This unusual design was created to commemorate the 500th anniversary of King Henry VIII's accession to the throne.
