Comment
This is a variant of this coin N#333990 - the differences are: much smaller busts of Queen and no die mark (on the coin with bigger busts there is die mark DA).
Coin issued in card - mintage 2700 pieces refers to both versions of the coin, with small and big busts.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee, which marks 75 years since her accession to the throne. The coin's design includes a smaller bust of the Queen, surrounded by a wreath of flowers, and the inscription "PLATINUM JUBILEE" above the Queen's head. This design is different from the standard design used on other coins featuring the Queen's image, making it a distinctive and special edition.
