Comment

Second coin of the Empire Coin Collection

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique double effigy design, with both Queen Elizabeth II and King James I appearing on the obverse side. This is a nod to the historical connection between the two monarchs, as King James I was the son of Queen Elizabeth I and succeeded her to the throne in 1603. The use of a double effigy design is a rare occurrence in coinage and adds to the uniqueness and collectibility of this coin.
