Comment
There are two errors in the name of the ship depicted on this coin. The spelling of the name "Elizabeth" is incorrect, containing a "s" instead of a "z". Additionally, the QE2 was never a Royal Mail Ship and should therefore never be referred to as "R.M.S. Queen Elizabeth 2".Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, who is not the head of state of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, but is still featured on the coin due to a special agreement between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Commonwealth of Nations.
