Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique 5th portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by sculptor 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 rendition of her necklace and earrings. This design change marked a significant departure from the previous portraits of the Queen that had been used on British coins for decades.
