Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, created by artist and designer Timothy Noad, which depicts the Queen's cypher, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves, with the inscription "Elizabeth II Dei Gratia Regina F.D." (Elizabeth II, by the grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith). This design was specifically created to commemorate the Queen's reign, charity work, and patronage.
