Comment
Cupronickiel version of the coin was issued also in PNC.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pound - Elizabeth II (Royalty and the RAF) 2008 coin from Guernsey is that it features a unique reverse design that commemorates the 90th anniversary of the Royal Air Force (RAF). The design depicts an image of Queen Elizabeth II in the foreground, with a background image of an RAF aircraft, the Supermarine Spitfire, which played a significant role in World War II. This coin is a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation and was instead produced for collectors.
