Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, showcasing a photograph of a 1933 portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which was taken when she was just a young princess. This image is surrounded by an ornate border and is paired with an inscription that reads "ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA" (Elizabeth II, by the grace of God, Queen). This design was created specifically for this coin and is not found on any other currency.
