Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Passchendaele, which took place during World War I in 1917. The battle was a major offensive launched by the British Army in Flanders, Belgium, and was one of the bloodiest battles of the war. The coin's design features an image of King George V, who was the reigning monarch at the time of the battle, and the inscription "The Battle of Passchendaele 1917-2017." The coin's silver content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for those interested in military history and numismatics.
