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 2008 and features a more mature and regal representation of Her Majesty, with a slightly different crown and a more defined jawline. This portrait was used on many British coins and has become a distinctive feature of modern British numismatics.
