Comment
Part of a three coin setInteresting fact
The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse depicts a portrait of Sophie Rhys-Jones, the wife of Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex. This coin is one of the few instances where a member of the royal family other than the monarch has been featured on a coin.
