Comment
Coin is a part of set of 24 coins issued by Guernsey and Jersey - this is the coin number 16:Interesting fact
The 5 Pound coin features a unique design that commemorates the 75th anniversary of D-Day. The obverse of the coin depicts a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse features a design that depicts soldiers landing on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944. The coin's design is particularly interesting because it includes a hidden detail - if you look closely, you'll notice that the soldiers' faces are actually made up of tiny letters that spell out the phrase "D-Day 1944." This subtle touch adds an extra layer of meaning and significance to an already powerful design.
