Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, depicting a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II surrounded by an architectural motif of The Mall, a famous London landmark. This design was created by sculptor and engraver, Ian Rank-Broadley, and it's different from the usual depiction of the Queen on British coins, making it a distinctive and collectible piece.
