Comment
Interesting fact
The 1999 Gibraltar 1 Crown coin commemorating the Blitz has a unique feature - it has a deliberate error. The coin's reverse side features a Spitfire plane, which was a symbol of British resilience during WWII. However, the plane's propeller is shown turning in the wrong direction. This was done intentionally to represent the chaos and destruction caused by the Blitz.
