Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design by Robert Evans, which depicts a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II surrounded by the floral symbols of the four constituent countries of the United Kingdom: England (rose), Scotland (thistle), Wales (daffodil), and Northern Ireland (shamrock). This design was specifically created to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), and the coin was released in partnership with the organization to support its conservation efforts.
