Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the centenary of powered flight, which is a significant milestone in aviation history. The coin's design features an image of the Wright brothers' first powered flight, which took place on December 17, 1903. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and aviation enthusiasts alike.
