Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique 5th portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark, which was first introduced in 2015. This portrait features a more mature and regal representation of the Queen, with a slightly different crown and a more detailed background. This design change was significant as it marked the first time that the Queen's portrait had been updated on British coins since 1998.
