Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, with an image of a Supermarine Spitfire, a British single-seat fighter aircraft that played a significant role in the battle. The coin's design also includes an inscription of the famous phrase "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few," which was spoken by Winston Churchill in a speech during the Battle of Britain.
