Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique reverse design, created by artist John Bergdahl, which depicts a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II surrounded by a pattern of flowers and leaves, symbolizing the Queen's 95th birthday and her long reign. The design is particularly notable for its intricate details and the use of gold to create a sense of luxury and celebration.
