Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Ypres, which was a major conflict during World War I. The coin's design features an image of Elizabeth II, as well as an image of soldiers in trenches, representing the brutal and devastating nature of the battle. The use of gold plating on copper-nickel gives the coin a distinctive look and adds to its collectibility.
