Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design of a tree house, which is not a common motif on coins. The design was created by the Falkland Islands' local artist, Margaret L. E. Fraser, and it represents the importance of the natural environment and the connection between humans and nature. The coin's design also includes the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which is a standard feature on many coins issued by the British Overseas Territories.
