Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 100th anniversary of Sir Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914-1917), a remarkable journey that aimed to cross the Antarctic continent from coast to coast. The coin's design features an image of Shackleton's ship, the Endurance, which was trapped and crushed by pack ice during the expedition, forcing the crew to abandon ship and embark on a perilous journey to safety. The coin's bimetallic composition, with a copper-nickel center and nickel brass ring, adds an additional layer of uniqueness to this collectible coin.
