Comment
Designer: Raphael MakloufInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Victoria, who reigned from 1837 to 1901, while the obverse features the standard portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, who has reigned since 1952. This coin was issued to commemorate the centenary of Queen Victoria's death and is a rare example of a coin featuring two different monarchs.
