Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Flying Scotsman coin is that it features a unique double effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, with one portrait depicting her in a traditional crown and the other showing her in a more casual pose, with her hair down and a warm smile. This unusual design was created by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley and was the first time that two different portraits of the Queen had been featured on a single coin.
