Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design by artist Paul Day, depicting a poppy field with a solitary poppy in the foreground, surrounded by a textured background that resembles the texture of a poppy petal. The design is meant to symbolize the fragility and beauty of life, and serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during times of war.
