Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, but with a unique twist - she is depicted wearing a crown and carrying a scepter, but also has a playful expression on her face, as if she is enjoying a private joke. This unusual design choice has led to the coin being nicknamed the "Smiling Queen" by collectors.
