Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Crimean War, which took place from 1853 to 1856. The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a scene depicting the Charge of the Light Brigade, a famous military action during the war, on the other side. The coin's silver content and proof finish add to its collectibility and numismatic value.
