Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Platinum Jubilee Gold Proof 5 Pound coin is that it features a unique double effigy design, with both a traditional portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and a special commemorative design on the reverse, showcasing the Queen's 70 years on the throne. This design element is a nod to the historic nature of the Platinum Jubilee, marking the first time a British monarch has reached this milestone.
