Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design of Queen Elizabeth II, depicting her wearing a falconer's glove and holding a falcon, which is a nod to the Plantagenet dynasty, which ruled England from the 12th to the 15th century. This design was created by the artist, Michael Rizzello, and was specifically commissioned for this coin.
