Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 100th anniversary of naval aviation in the Royal Navy, with a design that features a depiction of the first naval aviators and a background image of a vintage aircraft. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse side showcases the naval aviation theme. The coin's silver content and proof finish add to its collectibility and numismatic value.
