ONE CROWN
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, which was a pivotal air campaign fought between the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) during World War II. The Battle of Britain was a significant turning point in the war, as it prevented Germany from gaining air superiority over Britain, which would have allowed them to launch a full-scale invasion of the country. The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a Spitfire aircraft, which was a prominent fighter plane used by the RAF during the battle, on the other side. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists and history enthusiasts.
