Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Amiens, which was a significant turning point in World War I. The battle took place in August 1918 and marked the beginning of the end of the war, as it resulted in a major defeat for the German army and paved the way for the Armistice of Compiègne. The coin's design features an image of Elizabeth II, as well as an image of soldiers in battle, and the inscription "Battle of Amiens 1918-2018." This coin serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during World War I and the importance of remembering historical events.
