Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 100th anniversary of the RMS Titanic's sinking. The coin's reverse side depicts a scene of passengers and crew members abandoning ship, with the Titanic's stern in the background. The design is meant to evoke a sense of tragedy and loss, while also paying tribute to the victims of the disaster.
