Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique double-effigy design, with both Queen Elizabeth II and Stanisław II August, the last king of Poland, appearing on the obverse side. This is a rare instance of a coin featuring two different heads of state, making it a distinctive and valuable collector's item.
