Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design by artist Timothy Noad, which depicts a poppy wreath surrounded by a ring of gold, symbolizing the enduring memory of those who have given their lives in service to their country. The coin's design is particularly poignant given its release on Remembrance Day 2020, a day commemorating the end of World War I and honoring the sacrifices made by soldiers and civilians alike.
