Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Eurofighter Typhoon, a multirole combat aircraft that was developed by a consortium of European companies, including British Aerospace (now BAE Systems). The coin's design highlights the coin's connection to the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar, as the Eurofighter Typhoon is also used by the Royal Air Force, which has a presence in Gibraltar.
