Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a special 5th portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by sculptor Jody Clark, which was first introduced in 2015. This portrait is the first to depict the Queen's shoulders and neck, giving a more realistic and lifelike representation of Her Majesty.
