Comment
In 1850, Irish explorer Sir Robert McClure attempted to locate the lost ship of British explorer Sir John Franklin in 1850. The ship was not found until 2014.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Franklin Expedition coin is that it commemorates the ill-fated voyage of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, led by Sir John Franklin, which set out in 1845 to navigate the Northwest Passage but ended in tragedy with the loss of all crew members. The coin's design features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and an image of the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror in the Arctic, surrounded by icebergs and sea ice. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and history enthusiasts.
