Comment
Part of a series depicting events of WWIInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Women's Land Army, a British organization that was formed during World War II to recruit women to work in agriculture and replace the male workers who had gone to fight in the war. The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II, along with an image of a woman working in a field, symbolizing the important role that women played in the war effort.
