Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Race to the South Pole, which was a historic expedition led by British explorer Robert Falcon Scott in 1912. The coin's design features an image of Scott's ship, the Terra Nova, and the coin's reverse side features a map of Antarctica with the route of Scott's expedition marked on it.
