Comment
Part of a collection of coins commemorating the 90th anniversary of the RBLInteresting fact
The 5 Pound coin , issued in 2011 to commemorate 90 years of the Royal British Legion, features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins. The coin's reverse side depicts a poppy, a symbol of remembrance and hope, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. The poppy is rendered in gold plating, while the wreath is made of copper. This striking design combination creates a powerful visual representation of the Legion's mission to honor and support those who have served in the military.
