Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases Queen Elizabeth II in a sailor suit, which is a departure from the traditional depictions of the monarch in formal attire. This design was created to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Queen's visit to the British Indian Ocean Territory in 1979.
