Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli Landings, a significant event in World War I where Allied forces attempted to capture the Dardanelles Strait from the Ottoman Empire. The coin's design features a depiction of soldiers landing on the beach, along with the dates "1915-2015" and the inscription "Gallipoli Landings" on the reverse side. The coin's gold composition and proof finish add to its collectibility and numismatic value.
