Comment
Flypast was actually for the 2002 Golden Jubilee celebrationsInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a hat, which is not a common depiction of the monarch on coins. The hat is believed to be a symbol of her role as the head of the Commonwealth, a group of 53 countries that were formerly part of the British Empire. The coin's design is also notable for its inclusion of a flypast, which is a rare feature on coins. The flypast depicts a group of planes flying overhead, which is a nod to Sierra Leone's rich aviation history. Overall, the coin's design is a unique blend of traditional and modern elements, making it a standout among other coins featuring Queen Elizabeth II.
