Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a posthumous portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, meaning that it was created after her death. This is a unique and rare feature for a coin, as most coins are designed and minted during the lifetime of the person depicted on them. The use of a posthumous portrait adds a touch of nostalgia and historical significance to the coin, making it a truly special collector's item.
