Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a posthumous portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, meaning that it was created after her death in 2022. This is a rare occurrence in coinage, as most coins featuring a monarch's portrait are issued during their lifetime. The 5th portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on this coin was designed by sculptor Jody Clark and features a more mature and regal image of the Queen, reflecting her long reign and legacy.
