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 on December 19, 1980. The coin was issued in 1968, 12 years before Anguilla's independence, which makes it a unique and meaningful collector's item for numismatists and history enthusiasts.
