Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing the image of Noel Godfrey Chavasse, a British Army officer and medical doctor who was awarded the Victoria Cross, the highest military decoration for valour in the face of the enemy, during World War I. This coin is one of the few coins that commemorate Chavasse's heroism and bravery.
