Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it commemorates the 60th anniversary of VJ Day (Victory over Japan Day), which marks the end of World War II in the Pacific. The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse side, while the reverse side depicts a naval officer and a sailor standing on the deck of a warship, surrounded by the flags of the Allied nations. The coin's silver content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and history enthusiasts.
