Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Royal Air Force (RAF). The coin's reverse side depicts a Chinook helicopter in flight, surrounded by a stylized representation of the RAF's logo and the inscription "RAF CENTENARY 1918-2018." This design was created by the Isle of Man-based designer, Stephen Taylor, and was specifically chosen to honor the RAF's rich history and its contributions to the British military.
