Comment
A silver piedfort version of what was later released as a Cu-Ni commemorative in a very small mintage of 950.Unusually, this piedfort version was produced at more than double the mintage of the 'standard' coin.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design of penguins carol-singing, which is a playful and festive touch to the traditional portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
