Interesting fact
The BAe Sea Harrier featured on the coin was a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) jet aircraft used by the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm from 1964 to 2006. It was designed to operate from the Royal Navy's aircraft carriers, and was known for its unique ability to take off and land vertically, without the need for a runway.
