Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley. This fourth portrait of the Queen was introduced in 1998 and was used on British coins until 2015. The portrait is notable for its more mature and regal depiction of the Queen, with a more defined crown and a stronger jawline. It's a beautiful and detailed design that has become iconic in the world of numismatics.
