Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli Campaign, a significant event in World War I. The coin's design features an image of Elizabeth II on the obverse and a depiction of soldiers landing on the beaches of Gallipoli on the reverse. The coin's gold plating and copper-nickel composition make it a unique and valuable collector's item for those interested in military history and numismatics.
