Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Armistice that ended World War I. The coin's design features an image of the Imperial State Crown, which was worn by Queen Elizabeth II during the annual State Opening of Parliament, and a wreath of poppies, a symbol of remembrance and hope. The coin's obverse features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse features an image of the Armistice Oak tree, which was planted in the grounds of the Palace of Westminster in 1919 to commemorate the end of the war. The coin's silver content and proof finish add to its collectibility and numismatic value.
