Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases the Falkland Islands' cultural and natural heritage. The obverse side of the coin features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse side depicts a scene of a Falkland Islands' settlement, with a group of people gathered around a large stone, surrounded by wildlife such as penguins and seals. This design was created by local artist, Margaret M. Scott, and it was specifically chosen to highlight the islands' rich history and natural beauty.
