Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique design, depicting Queen Elizabeth II with a smiling face, which is different from the traditional depiction of the Queen on British coins. The design is meant to represent the "Little Miss Sunshine" theme, which is a playful and cheerful take on the traditional royal portrait. This design was created by the artist, Joanne Rowling, and it adds a touch of whimsy and personality to the coin.
