Comment

The 2023 strike was issued in the autumn of 2022 after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II and was only produced in a limited number.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, created by artist Joanna Drage, which showcases a majestic oak tree, symbolizing strength and durability, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. The design is particularly special as it was chosen through a public competition, where members of the public were invited to submit their designs, and the winning design was selected by a panel of experts. This process not only made the coin's design truly unique but also allowed the public to be a part of the coin's creation, making it a truly special and collectible piece.
