Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade in the British Empire. The coin's design features an image of a slave ship with broken chains and a group of people standing on the shore, symbolizing freedom and liberation. The coin's silver composition and piedfort style, which means it is thicker and heavier than a standard coin, add to its unique and collectible nature.
