Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, depicting a portrait of King George V, who ruled the United Kingdom during World War I, while the obverse features the standard effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. This design combination is a nod to the centenary of World War I and the monarchs who ruled during that time.
