Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 100th anniversary of Ernest Shackleton's Nimrod Expedition (1907-1909), which aimed to reach the South Pole. The coin's design features a portrait of Shackleton and the expedition's ship, the Nimrod, on the obverse, and the South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands' coat of arms on the reverse.
