Comment
Issued individually, this coin was the second in the City Views series and based on a historically important design by the artist Jacques Alphonse Testard.This strike was issued after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II but the design continued to bear the image of The Queen, in support of His Majesty the King's ambition for a sustainable transition. This ensured minimal environmental impact as the designs, tools and packaging for these products had already been produced.
The design was struck in a variety of denominations and metals (issue limit 156).

Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a representation of Rome's Colosseum on the other. This design was created to commemorate the 2022 Commonwealth Games, which were held in Birmingham, United Kingdom. The coin's gold content and proof finish add to its collectibility and value, making it a sought-after piece for coin enthusiasts and collectors.
