Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the birth of Princess Elizabeth, who later became Queen Elizabeth II. The coin features an image of the young Princess Elizabeth on the obverse, and the standard portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the reverse. It was minted in silver and has a relatively low mintage of 10,000 coins, making it a sought-after collector's item.
