Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Queen Victoria, who ruled the United Kingdom from 1837 to 1901, on one side, and Queen Elizabeth II, who has ruled since 1952, on the other side. This makes it a unique commemoration of the succession of the two monarchs.
