Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation, which took place on June 2, 1953. The coin's design features a portrait of the Queen in her coronation regalia, surrounded by the inscription "ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA F.D." (Elizabeth II, by the grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith). The coin's silver content and weight also make it a valuable collector's item.
