Interesting fact

The 1 Crown coin from Gibraltar (British Overseas Territories) minted in 2001 to commemorate the death of Queen Victoria features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. Instead of reading "Victoria's Death," it incorrectly states "Victoria's Birth." This mistake has made the coin highly sought after by collectors, and it is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
