Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases the Queen's royal cypher, which is a personal monogram that represents her name and title. The cypher is surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves and acorns, symbolizing strength and longevity. This design was created specifically for this coin and is not found on any other currency.
