Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by sculptor and coin designer, Arnold Machin. The portrait is based on a famous photograph of Churchill taken by photographer Yousuf Karsh in 1941, and it shows the Queen in a more relaxed and informal pose, with a slight smile on her face. This design was specifically created for this coin and has not been used on any other currency.
