Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the centenary of the Imperial Trans-Atlantic Expedition, which was a pioneering flight made by the British aviators Alcock and Brown in 1919. They flew a modified First World War Vickers Vimy bomber aircraft from Newfoundland to Ireland, becoming the first people to cross the Atlantic Ocean by air. The coin's design features an image of the aircraft and the two aviators, along with the dates of the flight and the anniversary being commemorated.
