Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of Keith Park, a prominent British military officer, on the other. This design was created to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, which took place during World War II. The coin's gold plating and copper-nickel composition also add to its distinctiveness and collectibility.
