Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of royalty and wildlife. The obverse of the coin bears the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse features a depiction of Princess Diana surrounded by a group of dolphins. This design was created to commemorate Princess Diana's love for marine life and her efforts to protect the environment. The coin's design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation and the role that royalty can play in promoting environmental causes.
