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 combination of two different portraits of Queen Elizabeth II. The obverse of the coin bears the Jubilee Head portrait of Queen Victoria, which was originally designed by Joseph Edgar Boehm and was used on British coins from 1887 to 1893. The reverse of the coin, on the other hand, features the current portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which was designed by Jody Clark and has been used on British coins since 2015. This combination of two different portraits of the same monarch is a rare and interesting feature of this coin.
