Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, created by artist Stephen Taylor, which depicts a poppy field with a solitary poppy in the foreground, surrounded by a wreath of poppies. The design is meant to symbolize the remembrance of those who have fallen in service to their country.
