Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique design that showcases Sir Walter Raleigh's ship, the Falcon, which he used to sail to Guyana in 1595 in search of the legendary city of gold, El Dorado. The coin's design also includes an image of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse side, making it a unique blend of history and modernity.
