Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Platinum Jubilee Silver 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 special design element is a nod to the historic milestone of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee and sets the coin apart from other coins in the series.
