Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 350th anniversary of the wreck of the "Sea Venture," a British ship that sank off the coast of Bermuda in 1609. The ship was carrying 150 colonists and crew, and although most survived the wreck, they were forced to spend ten months on the island before they could be rescued. This event played a significant role in the history of Bermuda and its relationship with Britain, and the coin's design features an image of the ship and the island's coastline.
