Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the centenary of Grytviken Church, which is located on the island of South Georgia, a remote and inhospitable region in the southern Atlantic Ocean. The church was built in 1913 and has a rich history, having been used as a whaling station, a research station, and even a filming location for the movie "Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure." The coin's design features an image of the church, as well as a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
