Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Little Miss Sunshine" Silver Proof coin is that it features a unique reverse design, depicting a smiling sun with a cheerful expression, surrounded by a pattern of rays and clouds. The design was created by the artist, David Knapton, and is meant to evoke feelings of happiness and optimism. The coin's design is a departure from the traditional depiction of Elizabeth II on British coins, and was created to celebrate the Queen's 95th birthday in 2021.
