Comment
One of a collection of coins celebrating 80 Glorious Years on the British throne by Queen Elizabeth II.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's 80th birthday, and it features an image of the Queen on horseback, trooping the colour, which is a traditional ceremony held annually in London to celebrate the Queen's official birthday. The coin's design is particularly unique because it includes a cameo portrait of the Queen, which is a rare feature on coins. Additionally, the coin's silver content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
