Comment
The Battle of Britain is the name given to the Second World War air campaign instigated by the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) against the United Kingdom during 1940.Interesting fact
The 5 Crown coin - Elizabeth II (Battle of Britain) 2015 from Isle of Man (British Crown dependencies) made of Silver weighing 155.52 g features an error in the design. The coin was minted with an incorrect reverse design, which was meant for a different coin. Instead of featuring the usual effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, the coin bears the image of a spitfire plane, which was meant for a different coin commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. This error has made the coin highly sought after by collectors, and it is considered a rare and unique piece in the numismatic world.
