Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pound - Elizabeth II (Kneeling at Wedding ceremony) 2007 coin from Guernsey is that it features a unique design that depicts Queen Elizabeth II kneeling in prayer, which is a departure from the traditional depiction of the monarch in a standing or seated position. This design was created by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley and was used to commemorate the 60th wedding anniversary of the Queen and Prince Philip. The coin's design and theme were carefully chosen to reflect the Queen's strong sense of duty and devotion to her role as monarch, as well as her commitment to her faith.
