Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a portrait of Werner von Braun, a German-born physicist and engineer who played a significant role in the development of rocket technology, on the other. This coin was issued in 1996 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of von Braun's birth.
