Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, depicting Admiral Andrew Cunningham, a prominent British naval officer who played a key role in World War II. The design is the work of sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley, who is known for his commemorative coin designs. The coin was issued to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic, which was a major naval battle fought during World War II.
