Comment
Interesting fact
The Enigma Code Breakers coin from Gibraltar features a unique design that incorporates a working Enigma machine, with rotors and plugboard, on the reverse side. This is a nod to the code-breaking efforts of Alan Turing and his team at Bletchley Park during World War II, who helped crack the German Enigma code and played a significant role in the Allied victory.
