Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the Falkland Islands Conflict, also known as the Malvinas War, which was a brief but intense conflict between Argentina and the United Kingdom in 1982. The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of the Falkland Islands on the other, surrounded by the inscription "Falkland Islands Conflict 1982-2018". The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for those interested in military history and numismatics.
