Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, depicted in a marquise cut, which is a rare and intricate cut that gives the impression of a cameo. This cut is achieved by cutting the coin's die in a way that creates a raised relief of the Queen's image, giving it a three-dimensional appearance. This particular coin is one of the few coins in the world to feature this unique cut, making it a highly sought-after collector's item.
