Interesting fact
The 1 Crown - Elizabeth II (Battle of Kursk) 2004 coin from Gibraltar (British Overseas Territories) is interesting because it commemorates the 60th anniversary of the Battle of Kursk, a major tank battle fought during World War II in July and August 1943. The battle was a turning point in the war, as it thwarted the German Army's last major offensive on the Eastern Front and marked the beginning of the Soviet Union's ultimate victory over Germany. The coin's design features an image of a tank and soldiers, symbolizing the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought in the battle.
