Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the end of World War I, with an image of a tank on the reverse side. This design was chosen to mark the 90th anniversary of the end of the war, and it is a poignant reminder of the devastating conflict that shook the world. The use of a tank as the central image is particularly significant, as tanks played a crucial role in the war and have since become a symbol of military power and technological advancement. The coin's design is a powerful tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought in the war, and it serves as a reminder of the importance of peace and diplomacy in preventing such conflicts from occurring in the future.
