Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique reverse design, created by artist Gary Breeze, which depicts a mature oak tree, symbolizing Queen Elizabeth II's long reign and her commitment to the environment. The design also includes a cameo of the Queen, created by sculptor Jody Clark, which is surrounded by an intricate pattern of oak leaves and acorns. The coin's obverse features the traditional effigy of the Queen, also designed by Jody Clark.
