Comment

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the last flight of the Concorde, a supersonic jet that could travel at speeds up to Mach 2.04 (1,354 mph or 2,180 km/h). The Concorde made its final flight on October 24, 2003, and this coin was issued the same year to mark the occasion.
