Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Platinum Jubilee coin is that it features a special design on the reverse side, which includes a cameo portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, created by sculptor and engraver, Jody Clark. The cameo is surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves, symbolizing the Queen's long reign and her commitment to duty and service. The design is particularly notable for its intricate details and the use of platinum, which gives the coin a distinctive shine and adds to its collectible value.
