Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Bonnie Prince Charlie, also known as Charles Edward Stuart, who was the leader of the Jacobite rising of 1745, which sought to restore the Stuart dynasty to the British throne. The coin's design commemorates the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Culloden, which took place in 1746 and was a turning point in the Jacobite rebellion.
