Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it was minted to commemorate the final voyage of the Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2) ocean liner, which was operated by the Cunard Line and was in service from 1969 to 2008. The coin's design features an image of the QE2, along with the words "Final Voyage" and the dates "1969-2008" inscribed above and below the ship. This coin is a unique collector's item for those interested in maritime history and the history of luxury ocean liners.
