Interesting fact

The 1 Crown coin from the Falkland Islands (British Overseas Territories) features a unique colorized design, unlike most coins which have a standard metallic finish. The colorized design is a commemoration of the 35th anniversary of the liberation of the Falkland Islands from Argentine occupation in 1982. The coin's design features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of soldiers and a memorial on the other, with the words "Lest we forget" inscribed at the bottom. This coin serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the conflict and the significance of the anniversary.
