One interesting fact about the 10 Pound - Elizabeth II (Diamond Jubilee; Gold Proof) 2012 from Guernsey coin is that it features a unique selective plating technique, where only certain areas of the coin are plated with gold, creating a striking contrast between the gold and silver elements of the design. This adds an extra layer of visual interest to the coin and makes it stand out from other coins in the series.
