Comment
One of a six coin series of Great British Heroes in colourInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a colorized portrait of Field Marshal Montgomery, a famous British military leader, on its obverse side. This is a unique feature as most coins feature a standard portrait of the monarch.
