Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth I, who ruled England from 1558 to 1603. This is a rare instance of a coin featuring a historical figure from the British monarchy, rather than the current reigning monarch, on its reverse.
