Comment
Part of the five coins set (Pictures with permission of © London Coins Ltd / www.londoncoins.co.uk):Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique double effigy design, with both Queen Elizabeth II and Queen Victoria appearing on the obverse side. This is a nod to the fact that Queen Victoria was the monarch when the original Gothic Head design was introduced in 1840, while Queen Elizabeth II is the current monarch. This design element adds an extra layer of historical significance to the coin, making it a truly special collector's item.
