Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Kina - Elizabeth II (Queen Mother) 1998 coin from Papua New Guinea is that it features a unique portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed specifically for this coin. The portrait was created by sculptor and engraver, Ian Rank-Broadley, and it shows the Queen wearing a crown and a necklace, with a stern expression. This design was only used on a few coins issued by Papua New Guinea during the late 1990s, making it a distinctive and sought-after collector's item.
