Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design that showcases a stylized representation of the Wright brothers' first powered flight, which took place on December 17, 1903. The design includes an image of the Wright brothers' aircraft, the Wright Flyer, and the outline of the flight path, along with the dates "1903" and "2003" to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the historic event.
