Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 60th wedding anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. The coin's reverse side depicts a carriage, which is a nod to the horse-drawn carriage that the couple rode in during their wedding procession in 1947. The design is surrounded by a wreath of roses, which symbolizes love and anniversary. This coin is a special edition and was only produced in 2007, making it a rare and collectible item for coin enthusiasts.
