Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique double-portrait design, with Queen Elizabeth II on one side and Queen Victoria on the other. This is a nod to the fact that Queen Victoria was the longest-reigning British monarch, and Queen Elizabeth II has surpassed her record. The coin's design is meant to symbolize the continuity of the British monarchy and the passing of the torch from one generation to the next.
