Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 400th anniversary of the defeat of the Spanish Armada, which took place in 1588. The coin's design depicts Queen Elizabeth I, who was the reigning monarch at the time of the Armada, and includes an image of a ship, symbolizing the naval forces that played a crucial role in the defeat of the Spanish fleet. This coin is a special edition and was not meant for circulation, but rather as a collector's item to honor the historic event.
