Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 90th birthday of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, in 1990. It has a unique design that features a portrait of the Queen Mother on one side and the Tristan da Cunha island's scenery on the other. Additionally, it's made of copper-nickel, which is a durable and long-lasting material that is often used in coin production.
