Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which is the fifth portrait of her to appear on British coins since her accession to the throne in 1952. This portrait was designed by sculptor Jody Clark and was first introduced in 2015. It features a more mature and regal image of the Queen, with a slightly different crown and a more detailed background. This portrait has become a popular feature of modern British coins and is highly sought after by collectors.
