Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate Anguilla's independence from British colonial rule, which was achieved in 1967. The coin's design features the Anguillan flag and the motto " Unity, Strength, and Progress" on one side, and the image of Queen Elizabeth II on the other. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and enthusiasts of Caribbean history.
