Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, created by artist Timothy Noad, which depicts a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II surrounded by a wreath of Commonwealth flora, symbolizing the Queen's reign and her role as Head of the Commonwealth. The design also includes the inscription "ELIZABETH II • QUEEN AND COMMONWEALTH • 2022" and the coin's weight and purity, "7.8g • .9999 GOLD." This design is not found on any other coin, making it a distinctive and special addition to any coin collection.
