Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a special design of Britannia, the symbol of Britain, to commemorate 50 years of the coin's issuance. The design shows Britannia standing on the shore, looking out towards the sea, with a trident in her hand and a shield bearing the Union Jack at her feet. This design is different from the usual depiction of Britannia on British coins, making it a unique and collectible item for coin enthusiasts.
