Interesting fact
The Falkland Islands, where this coin was minted, are a British Overseas Territory located in the South Atlantic Ocean, and have a population of only around 3,000 people. Despite their remote location, the Falkland Islands have their own currency, which is pegged to the British pound, and they have issued several commemorative coins over the years, including this one celebrating Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Wedding anniversary in 1997.
