Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, depicting Queen Elizabeth II bestowing honors on her subjects. This design is a departure from the traditional depiction of the Queen on British coins, which typically show her in a formal, portrait-style pose. The design was created by artist Timothy Noad and was chosen to commemorate the Queen's long reign and her commitment to recognizing and rewarding the achievements of her subjects.
