Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Votes for Women" coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Representation of the People Act, which granted some women the right to vote in the United Kingdom for the first time in 1918. The coin's design features an image of Elizabeth II, along with the words "Votes for Women" and the dates "1918-2008" to mark the anniversary. The coin's issue was limited to 5,000 pieces, making it a rare and collectible item for coin enthusiasts.
