Interesting fact
The BAE Harrier GR3 depicted on the coin is a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) jet aircraft that was operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF) from 1969 to 2018. It was designed to take off and land vertically, without the need for a runway, making it ideal for use in small or confined spaces. The Harrier was also known for its ability to hover and maneuver in mid-air, making it a highly versatile and effective aircraft in combat situations.
