Interesting fact
The Concorde coin, minted in 2013, was issued to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the first flight of the Concorde, a supersonic jet that could travel at speeds up to Mach 2.04 (1,354 mph or 2,180 km/h). The coin's design features an image of the Concorde in flight, with the Queen's effigy on the obverse side. The coin's unique shape, with a curved surface, is meant to resemble the Concorde's distinctive delta wing design.
