Photos from Cambridgeshire Coins:Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 80th anniversary of the Dunkirk Evacuation, a significant event in World War II where Allied soldiers were evacuated from the beaches of Dunkirk, France, in 1940. The coin's design features a depiction of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, who were the reigning monarchs at the time of the evacuation, and the reverse side features a representation of the evacuation itself. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists and history enthusiasts.
