Interesting fact
The Cutty Sark coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse side and the famous tea clipper ship, the Cutty Sark, on the reverse side. The Cutty Sark was a British ship that was built in 1869 and was one of the last tea clippers to be built. It was known for its speed and agility, and it became a symbol of the British Empire's maritime power and trading prowess. The ship has been preserved and is now on display in Greenwich, London, as a museum ship.
