Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it features an error in its design. The coin was minted with an incorrect portrait of Lord Horatio Nelson, who was a famous British admiral. The portrait was later corrected in subsequent mintings, making the error coins highly sought after by collectors.
