Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing the HMS Resolution, a British ship that was part of Captain James Cook's second voyage to the Pacific in the late 18th century. The coin's design also includes an image of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse side. This coin is a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation and was instead produced for collectors.
