Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was designed by a young girl named Emily Mounter, who was only 13 years old at the time. She won a competition organized by the Girlguiding organization to design the coin, which was minted to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Girlguiding in the UK. The design features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II along with the Girlguiding logo and the inscription "Girlguiding 100 years." This coin is a unique and meaningful way to commemorate the centennial of Girlguiding in the UK, and it's even more special because it was designed by a young girl who is part of the organization.
