Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 500th anniversary of Vasco da Gama's discovery of the sea route to India. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse side depicts a map of the world with a ship sailing across the ocean, symbolizing da Gama's historic voyage.
