Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Victoria, who ruled the United Kingdom from 1837 to 1901, instead of the usual effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, who was the reigning monarch at the time of the coin's minting in 2001. This design choice was made to commemorate the centenary of Queen Victoria's death.
