Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of King Henry VII on the other. This is a special feature of this coin, as it is not common for coins to have two different portraits on either side. Additionally, the coin's silver content and proof finish add to its collectibility and numismatic value.
