Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare depiction of Queen Elizabeth I on the obverse, rather than the more commonly seen Queen Elizabeth II. This is due to the fact that the coin was issued in 2008 to commemorate the 450th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth I's accession to the throne in 1558. The coin's design was intended to pay tribute to the historic queen and her legacy.
