Interesting fact
The Blackburn Buccaneer coin features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and the Blackburn Buccaneer aircraft on the other. The coin's design is unique because it is not a standard circulating coin but a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not meant to be used as regular currency. Instead, it was produced as a collector's item, and its design and low mintage make it a valuable addition to any coin collection.
