Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 80th anniversary of the Dunkirk evacuation during World War II. The design on the reverse side of the coin features a representation of the vessels that were involved in the evacuation, along with the dates "1940-2020" and the word "Dunkirk" in bold lettering. The coin's gold plating and limited mintage make it a unique and valuable collector's item for anyone interested in military history or numismatics.
