Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique reverse design by artist Stephen Taylor, which depicts a group of soldiers landing on a beach, commemorating the 75th anniversary of D-Day. The design is meant to represent the bravery and sacrifice of those who took part in the Normandy landings during World War II.
