Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, created by artist Robert Stanford Tuck, which depicts a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves and the words "Elizabeth II Queen of the United Kingdom" in a bold, modern font. This design was specifically commissioned for this coin and is not found on any other coins in the series.
