Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Royal Air Force (RAF) Coastal Command, which played a crucial role in protecting Allied shipping convoys during World War II. The coin's design features an image of the RAF Coastal Command badge, along with the inscription "RAF Coastal Command 1936-2008" and the motto "Vigilance and Resolution." The coin's silver content and proof finish add to its collectibility and numismatic value.
