Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, showcasing a detailed representation of Windsor Castle, which is one of the official residences of Queen Elizabeth II. The castle is depicted in great detail, with its towers, battlements, and flags flying high. This design was created by the Falkland Islands' local artist, Margaret O'Rourke, and it's a rare example of a coin that features a non-traditional design, making it stand out from other coins in the series.
