Interesting fact
The Hawker Hurricane, which is featured on the coin, was a British fighter aircraft that played a significant role in the Battle of Britain during World War II. It was designed by Sydney Camm and first flew in 1935. The Hurricane was known for its durability and maneuverability, and it was responsible for shooting down many German aircraft during the war. In fact, Hurricane pilots accounted for more than 50% of all German aircraft shot down during the Battle of Britain. The coin's design featuring the Hawker Hurricane is a nod to the aircraft's important role in British history and its contribution to the Allied forces' victory in World War II.
