Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2000 Pounds - Elizabeth II (James Bond; Gold Proof) 2020 coin from the United Kingdom is that it features a unique design depicting James Bond, the famous fictional character created by Ian Fleming, in place of the traditional effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. This coin was issued to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the James Bond film franchise and is one of the few coins to feature a fictional character on a legal tender coin.
