Comment

Issued individually, this coin was the second in the City Views series and based on a historically important design by the artist Jacques Alphonse Testard.

This strike was issued after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II but the design continued to bear the image of The Queen, in support of His Majesty the King's ambition for a sustainable transition. This ensured minimal environmental impact as the designs, tools and packaging for these products had already been produced.

The design was struck in a variety of denominations and metals (issue limit 1,006).
