Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of a monarch from the United Kingdom, Queen Elizabeth II, and a pope, Leo IX, on the same coin. This is a rare occurrence in numismatics, as coins typically feature only one prominent figure. The fact that this coin combines two influential leaders from different domains and time periods makes it particularly noteworthy.
