This circulating coin was produced by the RAM to celebrate the event.In 1989 The RAM issued a stunning re-strike of the coin in the "Masterpieces in Silver Set" for that year. However, it had the Raphael Makleouf 3rd Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the Obverse.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1977 to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee, which marked 25 years since her accession to the throne. The coin features a unique design that includes a portrait of the Queen on one side and a depiction of the St. Edward's Crown on the other. Additionally, the coin's copper-nickel composition gives it a distinctive reddish-brown color that sets it apart from other coins in circulation.
