Interesting fact
The Concorde coin was issued to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the first flight of the Concorde, a supersonic jet that could travel at speeds up to Mach 2.04 (1,354 mph or 2,180 km/h). The coin's design features an image of the Concorde in flight, with the Queen's effigy on the obverse side. The coin was minted in copper-nickel and has a weight of 28.28 grams. It was issued by the Guernsey Government in 2009 as a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation but rather as a collector's item.
