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 War Museum's iconic sculpture, "The Tomb of the Unknown Warrior," which is surrounded by a wreath of poppies. The coin's gold composition and intricate design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and history enthusiasts.
