Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 70th anniversary of V.E. Day, which marked the end of World War II in Europe. The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, waving to the crowds during the V.E. Day celebrations. The coin's gold plating and limited mintage make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists and history enthusiasts.
