Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique double portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and Queen Elizabeth I, with the latter being a historical figure who ruled England from 1558 to 1603. This design was created to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth I's death.
