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 • QUEEN AND PATRON" around the edge. This design was specifically created to commemorate the Queen's reign and her commitment to charitable causes and patronage.
