Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution, which began in 1789 and had a significant impact on European history. The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of the Storming of the Bastille on the other, which was a pivotal event in the Revolution. The coin's silver content and proof finish add to its collectibility and numismatic value.
