Comment
Coin issued in PNC:Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Schneiders Trophy Victory coin is that it commemorates the 75th anniversary of the British aviator, Frank Whittle, who invented the jet engine. The coin's design features an image of Whittle standing in front of a jet engine, along with an inscription of his name and the anniversary date. This coin is a unique tribute to a pioneer in aviation technology.
