Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, created by artist and designer Timothy Noad, which depicts the Queen's cypher, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves, with the inscription "ELIZABETH II • DEI • GRA • REGINA • FID • DEF" (Elizabeth II, by the grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith). This design was specifically created to commemorate the Queen's reign, charity work, and patronage.
