Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 100th anniversary of the famous Kitchener recruitment poster from World War I. The poster, which features Lord Kitchener pointing his finger and urging men to enlist, has become an iconic symbol of the war effort and is still widely recognized today. The coin's design incorporates this image, making it a distinctive and meaningful collector's item for anyone interested in military history or numismatics.
