Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, but it's actually a commemoration of Queen Elizabeth I, who ruled England from 1558 to 1603. This is a unique error, as the coin was minted in 2008, more than 400 years after Queen Elizabeth I's death.
