Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, showcasing a majestic portrait of the Queen, surrounded by a pattern of intricate floral details. The design is the work of sculptor and engraver, Jody Clark, who was just 26 years old when he created it. Clark's design was chosen from a pool of over 300 submissions, and it marked the first time that a new portrait of the Queen had been featured on a UK coin in over 60 years. The coin's design has been praised for its beauty and elegance, and it has become a popular collector's item among numismatists.
