Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design of Elizabeth II with her hands crossed, which is a departure from the traditional depiction of the monarch on coins. This design was specifically created to honor the Chimu culture, an ancient civilization that once flourished in what is now Peru. The crossed hands symbolize the Chimu belief in the importance of balance and harmony in life.
