Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the centenary of the House of Windsor, which is the royal house of the United Kingdom. The House of Windsor was founded in 1917 by King George V, who changed the name of the royal family from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to Windsor, due to the anti-German sentiment during World War I. The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II, who is the current monarch and a member of the House of Windsor, and the reverse side features a depiction of the Windsor Castle, which is one of the official residences of the British monarch.
