Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design of Emperor penguin chicks, which are native to Antarctica, on the reverse side, while the obverse side features the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This coin is a non-circulating coin, meaning it is not meant to be used as regular currency, but rather as a collector's item. Additionally, it is made of silver, which gives it an extra touch of luxury and rarity.
