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, which was achieved through the efforts of William Wilberforce and other abolitionists. The coin's design features an image of a slave ship with broken chains and a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The coin's silver content and proof finish add to its collectibility and numismatic value.
