Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 600th anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt, which took place on October 25, 1415, during the Hundred Years' War between England and France. The battle was a significant English victory, with the English army led by King Henry V defeating a much larger French army despite being heavily outnumbered. The coin's design features an image of King Henry V on horseback, with the Agincourt battlefield in the background.
