Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 65th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation, which is a significant milestone in British history. The coin's design features a portrait of the Queen, along with the anniversary dates and the St. Edward's Crown, which is a symbol of the monarch's power and authority. The fact that it is made of gold and has a relatively low mintage of 500 coins makes it a highly collectible and valuable item for coin enthusiasts.
