Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Battle of El Alamein, a pivotal battle during World War II that took place in Egypt in 1942. The coin's design features an image of Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of the battle on the other. The use of gold and the limited mintage of 2,004 coins make it a highly collectible and valuable piece for numismatists and history enthusiasts.
