Comment
The Battle of Verdun took place from February 21 to December 18, 1916, in the Verdun region of Lorraine, during the First World War. It pitted the French and German armies against each other. (Source : www.wikipedia.org) Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Non-circulating coin 1 Dollar - Elizabeth II (Battle of Verdun) 2016 from Solomon Islands made of Gold (.585) weighing 0.5 g is that it was issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Verdun, which was a major battle during World War I. The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of soldiers in battle on the other side, with the inscription "Battle of Verdun 1916-2016" above them. The use of gold and the limited mintage of 5,000 coins make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists and history enthusiasts.
