Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the liberation of the Falkland Islands from Argentine occupation in 1982. The coin's design features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of the Falkland Islands' coat of arms on the other, surrounded by a wreath of olive branches. The coin's silver content and proof finish add to its collectibility and numismatic value.
