Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, a pivotal air campaign fought during World War II. The coin's design depicts a Supermarine Spitfire, a legendary British fighter plane that played a crucial role in the battle, soaring above the English Channel. The coin's gold material and limited mintage of 8,000 pieces only add to its exclusivity and collectibility.
