Comment
One quarter Troy ounce fine gold alloyed with silver.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique textured design on its fields, which adds a distinctive touch to its appearance. The textured design was created using a special technique that involves applying a pattern of small, raised dots to the coin's surface. This technique not only adds visual interest to the coin, but it also helps to differentiate it from other coins in the series. The textured design is a nod to the tradition of craftsmanship and attention to detail that has been a hallmark of British coinage for centuries.
