Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, a pivotal air campaign fought during World War II between the Royal Air Force and the German Air Force. The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a Spitfire aircraft, which played a key role in the battle, on the other. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists and history enthusiasts.
