Comment
Krauze catalogue wrongly listed this coin as 2005, in fact it was issued with 2004 date.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing the HMS Revenge, a British ship that played a significant role in the Spanish Armada. The coin's design is a tribute to the ship's history and its significance in the naval history of the United Kingdom.
