Comment
This coin came as part of a first day cover celebrating 100 years of British submarines.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the Royal Navy's submarine service. The coin's reverse side depicts a submarine surfacing from the depths, with the Queen's effigy on the obverse side. The coin's design is particularly notable because it was created by the renowned British sculptor and engraver, Ian Rank-Broadley, who is known for his work on various coins and medals, including the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II that appears on many Commonwealth coins.
