Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, showcasing an image of HMS Ark Royal, a British aircraft carrier that was in service from 1955 to 1979. The coin's design also includes a representation of the naval crest and the inscription "Naval Aviation" to commemorate the history of naval aviation in the British Royal Navy. This coin was issued as a non-circulating commemorative coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation but rather as a collector's item to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the HMS Ark Royal's commissioning.
