Comment

This coin is primarily titanium, with gold plating on the obverse, and a blue non-metallic coating on the reverse. Thus, Krause calls it a Bimetallic. Additionally, it weighs approximately 11.5 grams, which is higher than the COA indicates.

Interesting fact

The coin features a unique design depicting Hans Christian Andersen's famous fairy tale character, the Ugly Duckling, on the reverse side, while the obverse side features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
