One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which was originally designed by sculptor Mary Gillick for the 1953 Coronation Medal. The portrait was later used on various coins and medals, including this 2006 non-circulating coin from South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
