The photo presented on the reverse of this particular coin was taken in 1972 when Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip celebrated their Silver Wedding Anniversary.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 70th wedding anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The coin features a portrait of the royal couple on the obverse, and the reverse design depicts a stylized image of the couple in their younger years, surrounded by a wreath of flowers.
