Comment
Picture from Young's Auctions / www.youngsauctions.co.ukInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design by renowned artist, John Bergdahl, which depicts a poignant scene of soldiers in the trenches during World War I, surrounded by poppies and barbed wire. The design is intended to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of the Great War and serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for peace and freedom.
