Comment
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a colored image of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse (front) side, which is unusual for coins minted by the Royal Mint. The colored image is achieved through a process called "colored minting," where a layer of colored metal is applied to the coin's surface. This process adds an extra level of detail and visual appeal to the coin, making it stand out from other coins in the series.
