Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme, which was established in 1956 to encourage young people to develop their skills and character through outdoor activities, volunteering, and personal development. The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and the Duke of Edinburgh's Award logo on the other. The use of platinum, a rare and valuable metal, adds to the coin's uniqueness and collectibility.
