Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that blends historical and mythical elements. The obverse of the coin depicts a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse features an image of a crowned lion, which is a symbol of the British monarchy, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. The design is meant to evoke the idea of the monarch's destiny as a leader and protector of the realm. Additionally, the coin's silver content and proof finish add to its collectibility and numismatic value.
