Comment
Part of the 24-coins set "Masterpieces in Silver" with the paintures of the most known artist.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, but it was not designed by a British artist. Instead, the portrait was created by the French artist Eugene Delacroix, who is known for his romanticist paintings and is considered one of the leading figures of the French Romantic movement. This makes the coin a unique blend of British and French culture.
