Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II, and the design on the reverse side of the coin depicts a scene of soldiers landing on a beach, symbolizing the Allied invasion of Normandy, also known as D-Day.
