Comment
The 2010 and 2011 coins don't have the date 2012 on the reverse.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases Queen Elizabeth II on horseback, in a dressage pose. This design was created by the artist, P. J. Lynch, and it is a departure from the traditional depiction of the Queen on coins, which typically feature her in a more formal setting. The use of a non-circulating coin also adds to its uniqueness, as it was not meant to be used as regular currency, but rather as a collectible item.
