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 Sopwith Camel, a famous World War I fighter plane, in flight, while the obverse side bears an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. The use of gold plating on copper-nickel gives the coin a distinctive look and adds to its collectibility.
