Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, created by sculptor and engraver, Jody Clark, which depicts a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II in a more relaxed and informal pose, compared to the traditional formal portraits used on most coins. This design was specifically commissioned by the Royal Mint to commemorate the Queen's 90th birthday in 2016.
