Coin issued individually and in set of 3 coins (2x Alderney 5£ plus 1x TDC 1 crown; mintage of set is 2018 sets).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, also known as the Great War. The coin's design features a poppy, which is a symbol of remembrance and hope, and the words "The End of the Great War 1918-2018" inscribed on the reverse. The coin's issuance in 2018 marked the centenary of the armistice that ended the war on November 11, 1918.
