Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by the inscription "Elizabeth II • Queen of St. Helena • 1984". This design was specifically created for the Saint Helena issue of the coin, and it sets it apart from other coins in the series.
