Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it has a unique feature - a holographic element that changes the image of Queen Elizabeth II's portrait depending on the angle of viewing. This holographic technology was first used on a coin by the Royal Mint in 2019 and has since become a distinctive feature of some of their commemorative coins.
