Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique double-effigy design, with both Queen Elizabeth II and Queen Victoria appearing on the same coin. This is a nod to the fact that Queen Victoria was the longest-reigning British monarch, and Queen Elizabeth II has surpassed her record. The coin's design is a way of acknowledging and honoring the legacy of Queen Victoria while also celebrating the current monarch's milestone achievement.
