One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 75th anniversary of VE Day, which marks the end of World War II in Europe. The coin's design includes an image of Queen Elizabeth II, along with the inscription "The Headline" and a representation of a newspaper headline from the time, reading "VE DAY - GREAT VICTORY WON."
