Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the RAF Fighter Command 2008 coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Royal Air Force's Fighter Command. The coin's reverse side depicts a stunning representation of a Supermarine Spitfire, a legendary British fighter plane that played a crucial role in World War II.
