Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique reverse design, showcasing a majestic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, created by renowned artist Jody Clark. The design is the fifth portrait of the Queen to appear on British coins, and it was specifically commissioned to mark the 65th anniversary of Her Majesty's accession to the throne. The coin's gold content and intricate design make it a highly sought-after collector's item, and its limited mintage of just 1,500 pieces only adds to its exclusivity.
