Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique "veiled portrait" of Queen Elizabeth II, which was created by the artist, Stephen Taylor, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Queen's coronation. The veil is depicted as a translucent cloth that covers the Queen's face, giving the impression that she is peeking out from behind it. This design element adds an extra layer of depth and meaning to the coin's design, making it a truly special and collectible piece.
