Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design depicting a Spitfire aircraft, which was used by the Royal Air Force during World War II. The design is meant to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, which took place in 1940. The coin's design also includes the inscription "Fighter Command" and the date "1940-2010" to further highlight its historical significance.
