Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate Italy's victory in the 1990 FIFA World Cup, which was held in Italy. The coin features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a design depicting a soccer player in action on the other side, surrounded by the words "World Cup Italy 1990." This coin is a unique collector's item for both coin collectors and soccer fans, and its copper-nickel composition makes it durable and long-lasting.
