Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, a significant event in World War II where the Royal Air Force defended the United Kingdom against the German Air Force, and it was minted in Tristan da Cunha, a remote volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean, which is known for its unique and limited coinage.
