Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the test flight of the Concorde, a supersonic jet that was capable of flying at speeds up to Mach 2.04 (1,354 mph or 2,180 km/h). The coin's design features a colored image of the Concorde in flight, with the Queen's effigy on the obverse. The coin was issued in 2009, the 40th anniversary of the Concorde's first test flight.
