Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 200th anniversary of the HMS Dorsetshire, a British warship that was active during the Napoleonic Wars. The coin's design includes an image of the ship, as well as an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. The use of silver and the coin's weight of 31.11 grams also add to its unique character and collectibility.
