Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, which took place during World War II. The coin's design depicts a Boulton Paul Defiant, a British turret fighter aircraft that played a significant role in the battle. The coin's gold composition and limited mintage of 2,020 pieces also add to its collectibility and value.
