Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 50 Pence - Elizabeth II (The Red Queen; Gold Proof) 2021 from Isle of Man is that it features a unique portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by artist John Bergdahl, which is unlike any other coin portrait of the Queen. The design is inspired by the character of the Red Queen from Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking-Glass" and features the Queen wearing a crown and holding a scepter, surrounded by a pattern of intricate floral designs. The coin's design is a departure from the traditional coin portraits of the Queen, making it a standout piece for collectors.
