Comment

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, showcasing a stylized image of the Metropolitan Line, one of the deep-level lines of the London Underground, in celebration of the line's 150th anniversary. The design also incorporates the line's distinctive color, a deep blue, and includes the words "Metropolitan Line 1863-2013" to commemorate the occasion. This coin is a special issue from Alderney, a small island in the English Channel, and is part of a series of coins released by the States of Alderney to honor the London Underground's rich history and heritage.
