Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pounds - Elizabeth II (Admiral Nelson) 2003 coin from Guernsey is that it features a unique reversible design. The coin has a standard obverse side featuring Queen Elizabeth II, but the reverse side features a portrait of Admiral Horatio Nelson, which can be viewed either right-side up or upside down, depending on how the coin is held. This innovative design was created by the coin's designer, Ian Rank-Broadley, and it adds an extra layer of interest and collectibility to the coin.
