Interesting fact
The Heinkel HE-111 coin from the Isle of Man features a unique design that showcases the aircraft in a diving pose, with its engines and landing gear in a retracted position. This design was chosen to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, which took place during World War II. The coin's design is not only visually striking, but it also serves as a reminder of the important role that the Heinkel HE-111 played in the war.
