Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 400th anniversary of Sir Walter Raleigh's voyage to the New World in 1602. The coin's reverse side depicts a portrait of Sir Walter Raleigh, along with a representation of the ship he captained, the "Lady Luck," and a map of the Caribbean islands in the background. This design is not only visually striking but also historically significant, as it highlights the important role that Sir Walter Raleigh played in the exploration and colonization of the Americas.
