Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it has a unique feature - a hidden security detail. The coin contains a micro-text inscription of the Latin phrase "Dei Gratia Regina" (By the Grace of God, Queen) which is only visible under ultraviolet light. This adds an extra layer of security and authenticity to the coin, making it a truly special and valuable collector's item.
