Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique colored design, showcasing a dragon on one side and Queen Elizabeth II on the other. This colorful design is achieved through a special minting process that involves applying a thin layer of color to the coin's surface. This process not only adds visual appeal to the coin but also makes it stand out from other coins in the series. Additionally, the coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for coin enthusiasts.
