Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and the Ark Royal on the other. The Ark Royal was a British aircraft carrier that was in service from 1955 to 1985, and this coin was issued to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the ship's launch. The coin's design is particularly notable because it incorporates both a traditional portrait of the Queen and a modern depiction of the aircraft carrier, creating a striking visual contrast between the past and present.
