Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that combines the image of Queen Elizabeth II with a depiction of Johann Sebastian Bach, a famous German composer and organist. The coin's design is meant to commemorate Bach's 300th birthday, which occurred in 1985. The combination of the two figures on the coin makes it a distinctive and interesting collector's item for those interested in music, history, and numismatics.
