Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a colorized image of Queen Elizabeth II, which is unusual for coins minted by the Falkland Islands. The colorization was done to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Royal Chelsea Hospital, which is depicted on the reverse side of the coin. The hospital was founded in 1718 and has a long history of providing care and support to veterans of the British Armed Forces. The coin's colorization is a unique touch that sets it apart from other coins in the series.
