Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases the Guard Mounting ceremony, which is a traditional ceremony that takes place at Buckingham Palace, where the Old Guard (soldiers who have been on duty for 24 hours) are replaced by the New Guard (soldiers who have just arrived). This ceremony is a popular tourist attraction and is a symbol of the British monarchy's rich history and tradition.
