Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the launch of the Queen Elizabeth 1938, which was a British ocean liner that was launched on September 27, 1938, and was later converted into a troop ship during World War II. The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and a depiction of the ship on the reverse.
