Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design that combines the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II with the iconic Mercury Dime design, which was originally introduced in 1916 and features a depiction of Lady Liberty with a winged cap and a caduceus. This combination creates a striking visual representation of the past and present, honoring both the centennial anniversary of the Mercury Dime and the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.
