Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reversal of the traditional monarchical portrait, with Oliver Cromwell depicted on the obverse (front) side instead of Queen Elizabeth II. This is a nod to Cromwell's role as Lord Protector of the Commonwealth during the English Civil War and Interregnum, a period of British history when the monarchy was abolished and a republic was established. The coin's design highlights the historical significance of this period and serves as a reminder of the complexities and changes in the British monarchy over time.
