Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, created by sculptor and coin designer, Timothy Noad, which depicts a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II in a more relaxed and informal pose, surrounded by the inscription "ELIZABETH II • QUEEN AND COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF • ROYAL BRITISH LEGION". This design was specifically created to commemorate the Queen's role as the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal British Legion, a position she has held since 1952.
