Comment
Base metal version avaliable as 5 pounds. Also avaliable as silver proof and gold proof in different denominations (1 pound, 2 pounds or 5 pounds).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a coloured poppy design on the reverse side, which is a symbol of remembrance and hope for those who have served in the military. The poppy is a nod to the traditional red poppy worn on Remembrance Day to honor those who have died in service. The use of a coloured design on the coin adds an extra layer of depth and meaning to the coin's commemoration of this important day.
