Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, depicting a portrait of Queen Victoria, who ruled the United Kingdom from 1837 to 1901. This design was created specifically for this coin and is not found on any other coin in the series. Additionally, the coin's weight of 28.55 grams is slightly heavier than a standard 50p coin, making it stand out from other coins in the collection.
