Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique dual-portrait design, with both Queen Elizabeth II and Napoleon Bonaparte depicted on the same coin. This was done to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Napoleon, as well as the opening of the Channel Tunnel (also known as the Eurotunnel) which connects England and France. The coin's design is quite rare and unique, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
